Oh, well in that case...  ;)



Yesterday at 19:30 UTC, I received UFO, along with CO, Pike 78, and Blinky.  I got called away before I could post the above waterfall images, and by the time I made it back here to the computer it was no longer a "fresh catch", so I didn't bother.

As you can see, UFO was fairly weak and very fade-y into the upstate of South Carolina, but it was certainly readable by ear.  It was a pretty easy copy on the longwire, though the shortened dipole couldn't pull it out at all.
