[Lowfer] Overnight 4-5 Jan.

[John Bruce McCreath]

As others had mentioned, last evening had some good propagation conditions.  On 518 I had numerous decodes
of station Q in Sydney, NS.  Although it's not DX by any means, I generally don't get it, probably due to collisions
with other stations in the same time slot.  All of the regulars where there, including Bermuda and Puerto Rico.

Shanwick ATC was coming in nicely on 2899 kHz. and I also could hear some of the aircraft side of the contacts.
It can make for interesting listening.  One night I heard an aircraft call them and ask for permission to DECEND
to 60,000 feet!  After a pause of a few seconds, ATC responded and was told it was a U2!
