It was certainly very strong when the '10 second dashes' were seen in
September. Without the QRN on that particular night they would have been
perfect 'O' copy.
I note from John's comments a few days ago that in recent weeks the strength
of the 128kHz station has been much stronger than the S5-6 recorded on
10/Sept.
With a little luck, that should mean that if we know in advance that Jack is
planning a beacon session, reception should be 'reasonably' straightforward.
BTW Did anyone in VE monitor the recent transmission? Is Jack's new crystal
on 136.500 or was he still using the VFO? A little trimming to avoid Loran
QRM would increase the chances of success.
