Dear LF Group,

Transmitted beacon signals again on 135.923kHz last night, 
approx. 40s dashes, from 2000 until 0310.

Before that, I heard a long series of CQ calls from DL3FDO on 
about 136.8. The gaps between calls were too short for a reply, so 
I assume it was a beacon signal. He was asking for reports via the 
DX cluster, but since I don't have that facility, he was 549 at 
around 1900utc.

Thanks to VE1ZJ for the latest crop of screen shots. A question for 
the stations listening in North America - are the signals being 
received from G stations subject to the same kind of fading as has 
been observed on VA3LK's signal, and VE1ZZ's before that - ie. 
good copy for an hour or so, followed by deep fades, or have there 
been continuous periods of good copy?

Cheers, Jim Moritz
