Jim, group,

daytime propagation must have been indeed exceptional on friday, also on 50=
0kHz.
I have the RX monitoring 518kHz NAVTEX when I am not active on 500kHz and c=
hecking yesterdays log I noticed a good copy of the 12:10 UTC transmission =
of A9M (Bahrein, abt. 4700km).
Strange enough no copy of the 16:10 transmission (I have copied A9M before =
at 16:10UTC).
4XO (Haifa - Israel, abt 3200km) was copied all day (08:20, 12:20, 16:20, 2=
0:20 UTC), normally I do miss the 08:20 and 12:20 transmission.

73, Rik  ON7YD - OR7T  =20

Dear LF Group,

Being at home at lunch time today, I took a look at 136kHz screen shots fro=
m
last night - "NA" and "XES" were visible. But what was suprising was that
VO1NA's beacon was still visible on the SpecLab screen, between about 1010
and 1120 utc - see the attachment. The signal disappears abruptly then, so =
I
guess that may be due to Joe switching off the TX. Normally I only record
screenshots up to 0900, since signals have usually faded out then, but bein=
g
at home early meant the signal was still on the screen. NA was visible
throughout the night and only faded out briefly around 1000 before returnin=
g
for another hour.

Cheers, Jim Moritz
