We got quite good results from UATLE within a few hours of UATLE sunset, so we suspect they have better radiated power than ZM2E. As per the results of receiving the beacon on week nights, propoagation generally lifted about "half way through the dark time". Signals were so good during the last few hours before ZL sunrise that we could actually copy by ear, and very clearly check with Argo on 3 second dot length :-) The QRSS30 received signal seemed to overload Argo set to 30 second dot length. I'll make a more complete report in due course. We need to check the distance, but I understand it to be nominally 10311 km. 73, Bob ZL2CA
