Dear LF

The past two days have been quite bad for signals I have noticed.  Normally
I get lots of decodes from many stations and now I am only getting Gus.
Also there is a lot of noise on the waterfall trace too.

Still hoping to catch Roger

With best regards
 
 
Jim

I listened again last night Roger between 1920 and 2020z and not a 
trace of you on the waterfall. SM6BHZ and G7NKS were coming in as 
normal, though Gus's signal seemed well down on what it was the night 
before, mostly down about -10dB with the occasional peak to 0dB (Monday 
he was consistently +2 to +4dB). So maybe 'excellent conditions' to DL 
land but not so to Bracknell...
