It was certainly very strong when the '10 second dashes' were seen in 
September.  Without the QRN on that particular night they would have been  
perfect 'O' copy.
I note from John's comments a few days ago that in recent weeks the strength 
of the 128kHz station has been much stronger than the S5-6 recorded on 
10/Sept.
With a little luck, that should mean that if we know in advance that Jack is 
planning a beacon session, reception should be 'reasonably' straightforward.

BTW Did anyone in VE  monitor the recent transmission? Is Jack's new crystal 
on 136.500 or was he still using the VFO? A little trimming to avoid Loran 
QRM would increase the chances of success.
