Normally I get lots of decodes from many stations and now I am only getting Gus. Also there is a lot of noise on the waterfall trace too. Still hoping to catch Roger With best regards Jim Dr. James Cowburn E james.cowburn@virgin.net "The information transmitted is intended only for the person to whom it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.

SM6BHZ and G7NKS were coming in as normal, though Gus's signal seemed well down on what it was the night before, mostly down about -10dB with the occasional peak to 0dB (Monday he was consistently +2 to +4dB). So maybe 'excellent conditions' to DL land but not so to Bracknell... 73 Dave G3YMC http://www.davesergeant.com
