Hi Chris,

In addition to spotting Paul, you spotted Glenn N6GN at -41 SNR.  I didn't think FST4W-120 decoded at that low a SNR!  Thanks for operating our one Southern Hemisphere WD station.

Yep - I noted a couple of FST4W-120 here in ZL-land recently.

I have just put my modified QDX on 20-meters, running FST4W (-120 for now).  I installed a little reference-clock multiplier (takes 5 or 10 MHz in, delivers 25 MHz to the QDX), and the transmit frequency is rock-solid.  I posted details to my blog: STABILIZING THE QDX
Apparently it's working well, even with my crappy antenna: a 30-meter dipole, one leg horizontal, the other vertical, with an MFJ manual Pi-network antenna tuner bringing the SWR to a reasonable level.
