1253 A really nice signal this morning, S5 to S6, but with the low noise levels, quite good overall.

good morning gentleman, thanks for the reports and kind words.
ill be playing 80's classic tunes for most of the day (at 50W) provided the PC is finished with windows updates as that is causing the audio to cut-out ruining the tunes im enjoying on this workday morning  :o
i suspect conditions will gradually become poor as time goes on though.

2115 UTC Mostly a weak carrier with some bits of threshold audio at peaks. Not quite enough to ID the tunes.
2131 UTC Signal fade up with "Little Red Corvette"-Prince
