Observations

• Rebel was using just 30 watts of power and coming in really well on the peaks and with very nice quality. It really is amazing what can be done with low power when the conditions are right. Listen to a recording here
• It was good to hear Matrix for the first time in a while. Also running low power at less than 100 watts, his signal was coming in well - nice jingles also!
• Barones was the strongest signal on the band as usual, with a super, long programme until around 0100 UTC. We started off by listening in the radio room and then listened in bed with a portable receiver! Take a look at the movie and you will see and hear near perfect reception
