[ADXA] Bouvet

[Steven Rutledge]

Thanks Dennis.  I can't understand the scope of the jamming in the 
instance of this operation.  There is no doubt the world is filled with 
angry people and the amateur community is no exception.  If I don't get 
them this time, it gives me something to look forward to.  And that 
actually makes me happy.

GL to all.

Steve, QQ

They have only about one hour of heat each day.  Unless they get a good weather day to resupply, it looks like the end could be near.

When they zero beat exactly and the DX is at the noise level, it is a problem.  I copied them well enough to try for 30 minutes or so, and then they went QRT.  So far, they haven’t shown up anywhere.   I think I would have worked them if they had stayed on another hour and into our sunset.
