Thanks for charting this, Nick. That peak just after 1000 UT is certainly
interesting and coincides with my 1020 UT reception this morning where I
had some very faint threshold audio poking through. Shortly after 1030 UT
or so, the 1566 carrier was gone completely. I'll try again tomorrow and

Hopefully you can catch something more positive from HLAZ. I've never had a
