Just signed on, very good signal here, SIO 444.

Went down to the basement workshop to listen on the R71A, also a good signal there, but occasional deliberate interference from another station.

  Good signal here in Oz. About S 5, very steady.
Thanks for the little transmission. It had been getting boring around here. Time now 1844 UTC
 8) Tried to catch SSTV, but just too much noise here. Also heard some weirdo scream call FCC? I do not know if that was a tongue in cheek or somebody else. There are such nut cases who would call the FCC if Santa gave a homeless kid a radio. Sad world dudes.

Jay :'(
