Following received from Klaus HB9CQS
Greetings Bill,
I heard you mention to Jim that I had worked Henk this Sunday morning.
In fact I started out working Peter. I again had great difficulties copying the European stations.
06.31z VK3KCD Peter 45 here, got 57. Unfortunately signals were on their way down and I lost
Peter after 10 minutes.
06.44z VK2GWK, Henk 5/5 both ways and fairly steady. Henk has now left for Europe.
06.51z EA7GSU, Pertti, 59/59 but after a few minutes signals started fading out and I
eventually lost Pertti After this I heard weak stations coming and going , none of them
reasonable long enough to give them a call.
07.45z EA7GSU Pertti back again with a strong signal.
