Signal was already very strong when I switched
the receiver on about 2230Z but went into a very slow fade that lasted
until about 0230Z. Signal popped back up and was strong the rest of the night
until fadeout as shown above. It was interesting that VE2IQ had copy
throughout the fade noted here. There was no QRM or unusual static
conditions to limit receiving 'sensitivity' so propagation is likely to
blame. I'm curious what Bill is using for his receiving antenna ... maybe he
will chime in. The antenna here is the large format K9AY.
Not sure what time you start your transmissions to
the west, but in the dead of winter a number of years back I was able to
copy CT1DRP as early as about 1930Z on some days.
Thanks for the T/A target signal!
