Yes - you won't see rapid fading or skewing which you'll see on the  
American and NWC VLF' s which are off the side of the Alaskan array. European  
signals, are pretty stable just the diurnal unless we have a hard solar event.  
You'll see JJY gradually getting weaker after loss of the nighttime path.  
Actually its there 24hrs just the slope of the preamp and direction makes it 
 appear weaker - same for the American VLF's.

Thanks Laurence. Will be interesting to see if the wideband digital  signal
shows up on your Alaska snapper starting just before 1800UTC on 27.0KHz  
today.
 
The signal strength is tremendous here in SE USA - about as strong as NAA  
on 24.0.
I notice NAA was off the air during this. You don't  suppose NAA could have 
been testing something
on 27.0 KHz? I'm sure it would be a major retuning job for NAA to  retune 
to 27.0KHz.
Perhaps it is not possible for them to do that. Maybe they are just off for 
maintenance.
 
Now just sent a long steady dash exactly on 27.0 then sign off at 1810UTC.  
So 
transmission time was just a little over 10 minutes.
