Unfortunately my RX is limited to 30kHz, but I suppose that a lot of
readers of this reflector can tune down to 16kHz and might be interested to
help.

Those who have the means and want to help Jean-Jacques (by recording GBR at
sunrise) are kindly requested to send me a short mail. I will collect all
responses and forward them to Jean-Jacques so he can send you more
detailled information.

I know this request is a bit 'out of line', but  I think that it is good
for the image of amateurradio if we can cooperate in scientific projects.

73, Rik
