And maybe if you take the attenuators out again you will reach the
dizzy heights of Bracknell.... I did monitor till around 10pm last
night but no sign, but the QRN got attrocious and I even lost copy of
Jim. IO think it was a bit late when I turned on this morning, with
lower noise, but no sign. But if Jim is copying you I am not really
that much further (well at 120km it is about twice the distance...).
