Thanks for giving it a shot! After calling for about 15 minutes I turned the beam towards Europe and did hook up with Glenn - G8NOF across the pond and we were able to go back and forth for about 20 minutes. His signal strength started out at S-9 +10 dB but after about 10 minutes it slipped down to around S-7. I made a video capture and posted it up at my YouTube account:
