Hi Eddy 'et al'

I will be on tomorrow at 1700z on or about 1835 khz looking for some 
reports. I don't want to be short with anyone so don't be upset if I keep it 
brief hi hi. My experience from the SP is that the QSB can be not only very 
deep on the fades but much more rapid [ in frequency from peak to fade ] 
than our usual nighttime occurances. It was a bit of a challenge to get a 
full call and grid from the stations 800 km and more away.
