I could try to set up the configuration and plot an entire night. I use the MV-61 which has a recorder output of the signal strength in the 2-Volt range and a Voltcraft multimeter with an RS-232 output to record the data on my computer. I will post results here. Now that we know, which station we are receiving we can use it as an indicator for conditions over the atlantic. BTW, does anyoneknow the purpose of the station? Vy 73 Geri, DK8KW (W1KW)
