Solid S8 signal here at 2206 UTC with BBC World News...events in Paris...
2209 UTC YL with ID..."BBC News", into commentary by OM...Iraq..suicide bombers...
2218 UTC The signal literally dropped from S8 to threshold in less than a minute here! It's too early for the band to go long :(
Thanks for the chance to hear Auntie Beebs though!
