Andy,
         I wasn't on, condx were really really bad the night before I doubt that they recovered much.
Remember also that when you are running a 1.2kW transmitter in beacon mode all night it does actually impact the electric bill!

===========================================

I started the evening looking for the guys across the pond on 136.177
and as is my usual, nothing seen.. Then at 1 am EST I put the radio
on 137.180 KHz with Spectran set to look from 137.180 down to 137.174
and immediately started to see a carrier close to 137.178 KHz, and just
assumed that it was Mitch - MP, and shut the monitor off for the night.
Checking the captures this morning; the line at 178 turned out to be
a solid carrier line all night.. and no other signals were seen..
Either I had my radio grossly off frequency, or there was no one 
transmitting last night after 1 am ( 06:00 UTC ). Was anyone on ??

Thanks and 73:
