It seemed that prop across the 'big' pond was decent just before dawn... We copied ZM2E 'O' for your entire final transmission... By the time the 'E' arrived it was well past dawn... We didn't bother sparking up...

 

Our noise dropped last night and the prior night just as your final sequence of the sked began...

 

More details to follow once we decompress and get more sleep...

Hi all,

 

The night at ZM2E was OK for rx and tx from our point of view, but we received nil from any of the stations we were aspiring to contact.  We had occasional rain static at S9+ but it was fairly brief, and otherwise QRN was moderate.  We copied the California RTTY signal on 135.92 kHz before ZL sunset so we knew there was some DX propagation, but on Argo 120 dot length it was nil seen for any amateur sigs.

 

The bottle of bubbly is back in the cellar ....
