A couple notes from last night in case you're planning more T/A activity ... HE3OM was quite strong here right from first key down so an earlier start time would be appropriate. Between this weekend and next sunset changes about 8 minutes. Recommend a start time 1/2 to 1 hour earlier - longer if you can manage it. A number of years back I received Brian CT1DRP as much as 1-1/2 hours before local sunset. While it wasn't a regular occurrence it did show what's possible. Your signal is the strongest I've seen from EU so who knows what limits can be pushed. Signal strength steadily deteriorated as the evening progressed as I've noticed this on other EU signals this season. Earlier is better. On initial startup there was a quick drift down in frequency from 316 to about 310 where it stabilized for the rest of the QSO. On slower QRSS modes this could drop you 'off screen' on a grabber that displays only a narrow frequency range. Assume that was just the equipment warming up. Thanks to all involved for getting HE3OM on the air - the effort is appreciated!
