The beacon operation was good from a transmission point of view, no time lost from before ZL6QH sunset to well after sunrise. The DDS exciter with 0.42 Hz shift was used throughout. We could have been up to 0.1 Hz high in carriers but a reception report suggests we were close to our notified frequencies. Timing of the start of each Q was within 3 seconds of ideal "on the hour" startup, and each ten minutes thereafter. We copped a bad storm before dawn but it did not cause any problem for the beacon. We will next look through posted Argo pics, provisionally Laurence K1LX is best DX for last night. European amateurs could also try and work ZL6QH in the HF WAE contest. 73, Bob
