Hi Brian,

looking at your grabber, I'm not sure that's SK6RUD. Hearing them
audibly, if weak in QRN and QSB here, and there's a long break between
repeats of around a minute, with two dashes in the "silent period" then
the message repeats. Your trace seems to be continuous, with no gaps.

They've just faded down, at 1840z, but no doubt overnight, in darkness,
it will be a rock solid signal. I believe the antenna is now a
vertical, rather than a low dipole, and more TX power too. It's paying
off for them.

Cheers,

John
