I'm getting a het and the Lowe sync whine indicates a signal is there,

voices, but that's another problem entirely. :-) Seriously, it sounds
like a woman's voice.

At 0130, the het is barely there. Looks like no dice. Drat!

I'm just checking my tape (I was not able to be home at the time),
extremely weak audio, the signal seemed to be very much up and down, at
least at around 0105 or so. Not much luck here I guess, but I'll give it a
listen for the whole 45 minutes I have taped tomorrow.

I hadn't tried for them at their regularly scheduled time in quite a while,
and I was hoping at this time slot they might come in well.

In checking out who might have been on 15475 at the same time it looks like
Radio Rossii has a transmission beamed to the far east at 0100-0400 in Russian,
so that may be the slight audio I received here rather than Antarctica anyway.
Perhaps just a bad propagation day :-( Another day, another time perhaps.



I guess I'm fortunate in the fact that I have a QSL letter from them for a
reception in 1982, however I would like to get their QSL card.
