Good copy of entire SAQ transmission in CT tonight. Signal was strongest at start of transmission
(2330Z). Copy was somewhat better than the customary 0800Z SAQ transmissions.
A short .mp3 of the reception can be found at http://www.w1vd.com/capture/SAQ010311A.mp3. The first
1/4 is from the tune up period and the remainder is from the message.
A view of the spectrum during the SAQ transmission can be found at

stations.
