Re: LF: Re: RE: SAQ transmission

Hi,
   Unfortunately I didn't hear the SAQ transmission as I was far from 
home (QRL), but I put an untuned big T antenna to a Skanti receiver and 
I just heard 4 long dashes (tuning phase) few minutes before 17:00z. All 
the other FSK and times signal was there so I believe that the actual 
power was less than usual.
