Your beacon was faintly audible, with deep QSB through the early part of the night, but never as "strong" as the previous night. Inter-Eu conditions seemed to be good, so I was hopeful for better from the East Coast VE/W. Nothing was heard here of WE2XGR/1 on 506.3 nor of WE2XGR/6 on 501.5, and I used some remote Perseus's on the East Coast to verify they were on the air. I retired to bed at 00:30 UTC, so possibly too early for the peak mid path darkness period. This morning at 06:00UTC your signal is slightly better than last night. Here's a link to the recording made this morning, using my Perseus this time, with a tighter bandwidth than the IC-718 I used for yesterday's recording http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3551430/vx9mrx_507r77_13Nov2011.mp3 Cheers, John GM4SLV On 13/11/2011 21:42, jcraig@mun.ca wrote: > Thank-you John.
