G'day, No big deal but to avoid any confusion the archived mail quoted is rather a hybrid, the analysis is my observations on reception of the BA beacon.
Not been listening on 6M much just lately because the coax for the beam has been diverted to a temporary 80M dipole, soon to come down. I prefer the hiss to the ear crunching QRN.
