Ready and Listening!

 

Didn't hear it.

 

Does anyone know if it even transmitted?

 

Transmission took place, heard them tuning up with 'V's' and callsign SAQ from around 07.40, then main message of about 3 mins. duration from 08.00. Using Alinco DX-R8 receiver with homebrew VLF converter they were around S4 here in central England, antenna 20m long end fed wire, or Cushcraft rotary dipole for 10/15/20 which seemed to produce stronger signal ! Just before dawn here, some rapid QSB

 

Thanks!

I'm in Albuquerque, NM, so I should not have expected much....
