Their signal showed up at 0833Z, shortly after midnight and was strong all night, peaking shortly before sunrise. It abruptly faded about 10 minutes after sunrise (just before the large noise burst visible on the screen capture). I was rather surprised at the strength of their signal since LF condx here have been terrible to say the least. For the past 2 nights (including last night) I have not been able to hear a trace of anything east of Manitoba (VE4) with respect to NDB prop indicators. My usual Ontario powerhouses are nowhere to be found. Apparently the Pacific path is not overly affected by the present coronal hole stream impacting E-W propagation from here. Here is the last capture including the dawn dropout. Please note that my R75 inverts the audio so the 'dits' are above the dashes. As well, the clock is 5 minutes fast. http://www.imagenisp.ca/jsm/ZL6QH%2012%2028.jpg Steve / VE7SL
