Northerly Loran traces on 100 kHz have been weaker
than normal and exhibit more irregular skywave variations.

Markus,
With your encouragement, let's try try a carrier starting 0845
while
monitoring the tuning.
I've seen no traces on any grabbers on
your side of the pond so far,
but we can hope.

good that you are intending to get on, despite those difficulties! I hope we can
catch possible irregularities on your signal tomorrow morning. Of course it
would be ideal to have that straight carrier - considering your usual signal
strength you would probably still be easily observable if you reduced your power
by a factor of two pr three.
