Hi Grumpus,

Heard this on a JRC NRD-545, with a one of my three antennas, a random wire
about 12 metres (almost 40 feet) long.

And, six minutes ago, just heard Lan Chile again, calling Pascua, en
espanol! Can't believe it!

Mark.

Wow Mark, that must be some catch to garner such high praise from Mr.
Plimmer! By the way, what receiver and antenna did you hear this one
on?

Regards,

Grumpus

John,

I know how you feel. Easter Island is (sort of!) one of my neighbours,
but
haven't ever heard an HF signal from their before. (I had the pleasure
of
visiting Easter Island some years ago and can recommend it!)

I could hear both the aircraft and the ground station, although the
aircraft
was a louder signal, both very audible though.

WONDERFUL CATCH!
I have been playing cat and mouse with that station for years without
any
luck
