Also heard here on the SDR recording from 0112 when I plugged the antennas back in after storms, to 0148 when the signal suddenly dropped. An impressive signal at times, S9+10 dB!
Back again 0150 to 159 fade out? But much weaker this time.

Thanks for the fun show, an eQSL would be greatly appreciated  ;D
