Vlad appeared again on 1823 yesterday at 22:30. QSX 3 up. Very deep slow QSB from NIL to short speak with few dBs over noise. on African beverage only. It took 3 attempts with 5..7 min intervals to have confirmation. Not many callers. He heard me much better than I. Thanks for trying Vlad! (Still QRQ) 73 Arunas / LY2ij
