Hi Jim, ULF,

i wondered why the trace at IK1QFK in 5 wavelengths distance becaome so 
blurry in the recent days.
See http://www.webalice.it/rromero/live_cumiana/last-LFtest_2970.jpg and 
use a zoom function :-) The SNR of the next upper bin (5.06 uHz 
'higher') reached the same levels and sometimes even more! The overall 
SNR was increased significantly, to up to 14 dB.
Could this have to do with enhanced sky-wave propagation? During the 
same time the signal became smaller at Paul's location...

I'm looking forward to the new VLF/ULF grabber at DL0AO, the are having 
progress in beg steps! Impressive.
It will certainly help to permanently inspect the signal out of 
different locations...

73, Stefan
