1648Z Juliet Checking for stations that can operate on channel Quebec.
1653Z Juliet The went to Quebec.
1656Z Juliet Stations coming back to Juliet. Stations had trouble establishing comms on Quebec.
1658Z Juliet Now wanting to check frequency Whiskey.
1659Z Whiskey CIW444 is on Whiskey. Very weak. Hear a couple of other stations, too weak to ID.
