I have not seen anything that looks as if it could be a signal from Vlad, which is not so surprising considering the QRN level, which unfortunately seems to reach a maximum around midnight, which is when the signals from RU6LA seemed to peak - it blots out most of the Loran lines as well. I expect it should be possible to copy Vlad when conditions are a bit quieter, but it is a bit frustrating! I am using DL4YHF's Spec Lab set for a span of +/- 100Hz around 136.1kHz, which covers the possible range of frequencies with a margin for error - with the waterfall expanded to full screen, and about 0.3Hz resolution, it does not seem to miss anything. I will be looking out again tonight. Cheers, Jim Moritz 73 de M0BMU
