Hi Dave,

RR - I will also be busy from "other tasks" over the easter weekend. 
Anyway it's nice to see the propagation getting better by the minute. 
The QSB is slower than 2 minutes here, but that may change later, too.

I have uploaded a "multi-strip" spectrogram of your transmission which 
shows the slow QSB quite good (note that the times are "local" because 
windows recently switched my PC's clock to DST, so subtract two hours to 
get UTC) :

Cheers,
