LF: ZL6QH - VE7

["Steve McDonald" <jsm@gulfislands.com>]

Copied the best signals yet from ZL6QH last night. Their signal showed up at
0833Z, shortly after midnight and was strong all night, peaking shortly
before sunrise. It abruptly faded about 10 minutes after sunrise (just
before the large noise burst visible on the screen capture). I was rather
surprised at the strength of their signal since LF condx here have been
terrible to say the least. For the past 2 nights (including last night) I
have not been able to hear a trace of anything east of Manitoba (VE4) with
respect to NDB prop indicators. My usual Ontario powerhouses are nowhere to
be found. Apparently the Pacific path is not overly affected by the present
coronal hole stream impacting E-W propagation from here.

Here is the last capture including the dawn dropout. Please note that my R75
inverts the audio so the 'dits' are above the dashes. As well, the clock is
5 minutes fast.
