Hi,

I understand the transmission didn't happen. I listened for them at the
appropriate times (and even well before) with my RAK and a couple
hundred feet of wire and loading/tuning coil, counterpoise, etc. My
immediate conclusion was failure of my gear to hear them. I heard
several things down there. While I had the RAK turned on for several
hours ... something I guessed was an auroral flareup. When that happened
I thought it would mask the transmission but that cleared away well
before the scheduled (non)event.

I'll try again whenever I know they are going to try.

73,
