Just completed another QSO with Finbar. This one lasted about 15 minutes and 
call signs, two sets of
signal reports (to report changing conditions), outdoor temperatures and other 
bits of information
were successfully exchanged. There was less QRN at XGR/2 than Tuesday night 
making copy on this end
somewhat easier...although signals were still very weak. Finbar appeared to 
have very good copy.

There was fairly rapid (about 10 second) QSB that would take signals into the 
noise but in short
order they popped back up again. This QSO happened to take place at the same 
time as Tuesday night's
QSO (not planned that way), although Finbar reported hearing XGR/2 in beacon 
mode at least a half
hour earlier (0030Z). More study of this path should prove interesting now that 
we know Tuesday
night's QSO wasn't a one time occurance.
