>an experience it must have neen for the VK0IR operator, and for
>all of you guys who worked them! The signals wer fading out with
>me around 23:55 z, which is almost 1 hour after VK0 sunrise.
>
>80 SSB meters was just as good. The signal were back up to normal,
>(peaking at S9 or better around 21:00 in Europe) with the ON4UN
>invertd-L back in the air (hopefuly for a little longer, this time).
