Firstly, for a long period those stations in the west of the UK (GW0EZY, G3XKR, G4WGT, G8HUH) seemed to have much better reception than I did in the south-east. It wasn't my receiver, antenna or QRM, all was working 100%. Later in the night the situation reversed. It is not unusual for stations only a short distance apart to experience quite different reception, but I have never seen it demonstrated so well. Also, the change was remarkably slow. Secondly, TF3HZ seemed to have poor reception of VO1NA much of the night. Thirdly, there were several double decodes. I presume this indicated deep QSB. Lastly, this was one of the very few occasions where the deepest of the deep searches (the ones with the question marks) actually produced a 'true' result - these are both partial decodes, at 0044, and 0332. I know these are 'true' because two items - callsign and frequency - match up. I believe there was some interesting fading patterns last night as well as some Luxemburg effect. Perhaps something for the propagation boffins. In any case, this showed the value of Opera in producing data when we in Europe are asleep! Thanks to Joe for the signal as usual. Below is my edited data. I have stripped out the locations to reduce line length. Note that most stations show Joe as being on or close to137.477kHz (ie 136.0 + 1.477kHz).
