Enjoy!

2000z time pips clear then signature tune
2002z welcoming speech starts with fair reception
2003z - they must have swung the beam as reception becomes very weak
and unreadable.
Sadly their schedule doesn't beam South to me = pity

Still at the moment not audible. Can hear that a OM is talking but
thats it.
Listening here in Scotland with the R&S ek895, 2.7 kc filter and a
Slooper 18 meters long.

It's audible now but not good readable. Can hear voices and music.
Signal strength increasing!

It's now much better good copy here! But still noisy!

Arm chair copy at 20:36u. peaking to S9 on the loop.
it don't get any better than this. still looking forward to
22:30u.


We'll see. Seemed like last year I got better reception off the side lobes than I did when the
antenna was beamed this way.

This is enjoyable, though I still wish they'd loan the xmtr set-up to Tristan da Cunha... at least
once every two years or so, OR just once, damn it!


Hay Ace, i remember you saying that last year. maybe we gotta talk
to Kipp.


Ha! I've been saying that for a long time!
