Quite pleased considering the “QRM Hell” that VHF is every december… :slightly_smiling_face:

I was not expecting this pass to be as good as it is as the pass was very low with 18° El

Yes not the best passes for me either this weekend. I think c29deg at 1345z today is best so will give that a go. Maybe 25deg on the pass after as well if not dragged out Xmas shopping.

Quite pleased with these (especially 2nd) considering only 29deg pass and on the wrong side of building for my main antenna so recording made with HT & Whip next to phone in garden for recording then transferred to PC for processing.
