Hi Crellitor - this is probably Galei Zahal from Israel...

Yes, it is. I was just noticing last night how well it was coming in. A sure sign we're getting close to autumn.

Likewise.  It was really in well at S9+5 or so, with nice audio and well-rendered sidebands in the waterfall.

That and the fact my shrubs are looking like an explosion in a paint factory :-\

I've just caught Galei Zahal for the first time myself, last night on this frequency.  I've been trying for months.  Can you tell it's my first summer/autumn having a clue about propogation conditions?  :P
