Dear LF Group,
I heard CFH transmitting FSK on 137.0k last night - I didn't stop to
measure it, but it seemed to be only moderately strong here compared to how
it was on "good" nights last year. The pattern seemed to be that under
"good" condx, CFH would get up to 40dB or more over the noise, with
occasional deep fades during the night, and fading out during the day
completely. When conditions were disturbed it was audible at a relatively
low level during the whole day, but hardly picked up at all at night -
G3NYK's ions up to their mischief in the D-layer. Mal's report of it being
audible this afternoon suggests that conditions are poor again - but if it
builds up after dark, things could be improving.
Cheers, Jim Moritz
