It took place between about 0050 and 0400 using QRSS30, and "M" reports were exchanged. Propagation has been pretty dismal lately, but Joe's signal can be received quite consistently when the QRN is at a reasonably low level. Yesterday morning, the QRN level was lower than it had been for some time, and signals were just about readable for the whole time the path between us was in darkness. Considering we are nearly at the longest day of the year, this certainly bodes well for the coming winter! Cheers, Jim Moritz 73 de M0BMU
