Dex,

That Mal's sure got one heck of a signal.

Hello John and everyone watching/listening last night on 136 khz. I did QRT at
0015 utc then got up again at 0530 utc and went QRT again at 0810 utc approx.
I like to be in the shack when the apparatus is transmitting and I always
listen on 7025 khz approx
for any xband qso's that develop.

Same thing happened here. Didn't save the shot.

That's Europe One from the Saar Valley - a French language station. They
sign off every night around 0000 (sometimes 10-15 minutes later), and back
on around 0300. That's my window for evening signals near that frequency.

My ISP sometimes has trouble with connections to AOL-based sites. Dunno.

No, 184.600 is at 800 Hz. So the line's about 0.2 Hz lower. That puts Paul
about 0.3 Hz low.

He was very appreciative of my report, BTW. Seems like a nice guy.
