Hello Rik,
I thought Mal and everyone had given up before then.
Looking back I see I decoded Mal's JT9 signal just once at 0132z
with a signal of -26.
Looking at WSPR results from last night it is clear the peak was
much later, after 0400z.
Propagation is unpredictable. What we need for success is activity
over a run of several nights. I know it is very difficult to be
awake and on the radio in the middle of the night.
I will be there again in the next night.
73,
Paul

I called CQ from 2250 to 0100z. No signals seen from EU.
Murphy's law in action ! The one night we stir up interest,
propagation failed ! WSPR signals were down a good 10 to 15 dB from
recent nights.
I will continue to call CQ on JT9 during this time frame for the
next few nights... 2300 - 0100z. I will be transmitting odd/second,
474.2 dial, audio somewhere between 900 and 1300 depending on local
noise and other JT9 activity.
In about a week I will be putting the LF coil back in place, as I
have a new amplifier to test and some people wanting LF QSOs. I do
not know when I will be back to MF after the QSY so please try the
next few nights if possible. Thanks.
