[Lowfer] TIL Capture Overnight 9/17/10

[Scott Tilley]

  Thanks for the reports chaps!

Finally got a 'decent' report out of JA from the overnight session!  
They seem to be slowly figuring out how to hear over there.  Lots of QRN 
for them didn't help their cause but they had a couple of hours of 
useful reception!

Here's hoping within a few days they get it fine tuned and a QSO is 
possible!
