Dear LF Group,

Once again, thanks to those who sent signal reports on last night's 
beacon signals, and thanks also to those who continue to 
listen/watch for our signals. I transmitted the same signal as before 
on 135.924kHz, this time from 1900 to 0230, after which I decided 
it was time for bed.

I saw VE2IQ's spectrogram, showing the signals he could see last 
night - clearly, they are on the right frequency give or take a few 
mHz, however, positive identification is still difficult - in the case of 
my signals, they appear to be still too weak or too fast(!) for the 
on/off pattern to really show. I will alter my frequency slightly next 
time - hopefully, Bill's signal will alter frequency too. 

If these signals do turn out to be G3AQC and myself, the difference 
in time between optimum reception is certainly interesting and 
unexpected.

Thanks to G4JNT for the frequency check - I think I will leave my 
reference oscillator alone for the time being, it is still just about 
within spec, although it probably has not been set up for several 
years.

I will try again tonight at similar times. Since Laurie is now going to 
135.922, I will try 135.923 for a change. Hope this is OK.

Cheers, Jim Moritz
