Hi all I think last night the results from observing G3AQC 's signals
were significant. Firstly the condx were terrible. At times DCF39 was as
low as S-1. Typically it was S-2 toS-3. 128.9 had a max of S-4
typically S-3
The K index was a 4 at 0000z last nite and a 6 at 0900z . We had
widespread Au propagation on 144 mHz in both Eu es NA. I had visible
Aurora at 0833Z here.
G3AQC was "M" or "O" copy for most of the time between 2222Z and
0300z
There was nil from Laurie at 0330, butI thought I could see G3AQC
at 0420"T" copy. I am not sure of the last statement Please tell me
when you were transmitting last night Laurie.
I wish we had had more experience with DFCW and 30 sec dots
during the trials with Jack.
This shows rhat even with very adverse condx less than 1/2 w erp
can get across, a sign of great reliability.
One strange thing. Last night , and on other occaisions when aurora
was visible, I have listened to 128.9 and DCF39. The flutter heard on
160 and 80 and 40 has never been observed on LF
