As earlier reported, BRO is running QRSS60 on 182.200, and LEK is running
WOLF on 182.250 kHz. Both stations are about 1100 miles from me, and along
the same bearing. This report is for Sunday, Feb. 24 (EST times).
0330 - 0400: No sign of either signal. No WOLF hits at the correct
frequency.
0400 - 0430: BRO is barely readable, with fragments of an "RO". No correct
WOLF copy, though the last 4 lines are on the correct frequency.
0430 - 0500: A clear "BR" from BRO, with the "R" better than the "B". 12
clear lines of copy from LEK.
0500 - 0530: A clear "O" and a pretty rough "B" from BRO. 14 clear lines of
copy from LEK.
0530 - 0600: A very good "RO" from BRO (the "O" is quite crisp). 7 clear,
and 2 partial lines from LEK.
0600 - 0630: "BR" is very readable, with the start of a sad-looking "O".
(My sunrise time is 6:30.) 8 clear lines of copy from LEK.
----------------------------------------
No big conclusions should be drawn from one night's observations. It is safe
to say that both signals were copyable at the same time, and that I could
get 15 characters from LEK to 2+ characters from BRO when either signal was
present.
I'll do this for a few more nights, and pass along the results.
