1635 0125 Soerabaya 24422 report for Pandora

Lots to listen to this evening - qsos and programmes. Propagation conditions were not so good during the first part of the evening and some signals were weaker than usual. However, the situation improved and stations were heard with usual strength later during the night.

Marianne was peaking with the maximum 55555 during his qso and Pandora also clocked the top figure when giving a report to Napoleon, who also had a fine signal and excellent modulation during his good programme

Morningstar was heard here for the first time, although the signal was very, very weak. He was using only 70w and the antenna was not long enough, so it was a surprise to hear anything

Ok, that's all for now
All the best
David
