[Merv Schweigert]

Now thats a strange one Milt,  I was up and ears peeled at 1330Z until
now 1545Z and never heard a peep outta him, never heard anyone
calling at all,   what Freq was this happening on?
Only stations on 160 were NH0Z and V63DX,  couple JAs
How in the world did we all miss him?   Curious to freq you heard him on?
I also dont see any reverse beacon hits for him..
Color me dumb,   73 Merv K9FD/KH6

> He was first discernable here at 1350.  In the log at 1400.

> It is now 1422 and he is fading with my sunrise.  The signals peaked at S3 on the Beverages for about 20 minutes, but was good copy on ALL 16 Beverages.  This indicates a VERY HIGH arrival angle here near the Amsterdam antipode.  He was good copy (S1) on a full wavelength horizontal loop just 10 feet AGL.

> He is now working northern Scandinavian station as well as NA west coast as he fades away.  Still 449 at 1427.
