Anyone else following this?


Yup. Copying on RTTY and CW. 0200Z sigs were around 459; 0230 sigs
dropped to around 339. Also QSB and some precipitation static from the
rain/sleet/snow we are getting (a dark and stormy night!) Copied
Sequence 966 and 979. Looks like they are losing quite a bit of
altitude...down to around 607 meters. Hope they can dump more ballast
before they start scraping the wave tops.
