Nick, No luck here as yet either, except for a decent carrier a couple nights back. Conditions tonight don't seem all that great. This afternoon I checked the directivity of the Eastern beverage and it is operating just fine, but DX cx to the East so far aren't too good tonight. 73, Patrick

Had high hopes for 1690.7 this evening, with a carrier equal in strength to those on 1690, at least briefly just before 0500UTC, 1690 (and 1690.7) was a bust here too Nick. In fact all x-band signals were very much down in strength. Maybe one noght we'll get to hear it. Mike in St Isidore, AB

Mike, At around 0400 EDT, I had a carrier on 1690.7, and maybe threshold audio, but that is a guess at best. The strongest carrier so far. I hope as Fall gets on, I can get some audio. I tried upper SB (ECSS), AM in 1.8/.5, etc. I even tried the 2.4 filter on the SPR4 with the notch, but nothing

Had high hopes for 1690.7 this evening, with a carrier equal in strength to those on 1690, at least briefly just before 0500UTC, and using the northerly Flag antenna. Since then, however, it's just been getting weaker. Another night perhaps. best wishes Nick
