TX throughout the day.
Hi Roger,
I managed to find time throughout the day to listen in on bits and pieces of your program. You were stronger and clearer during the afternoon with less fading and less QRM than in the morning. Up to about 08.00, all I heard on 48m clearly was Tower, Cupid and Orion. At 09.20 untill about 09.45 your SIO was about 333(v), then later on it seemed to improve. At around 16.00 your SIO was more like 344 (steady).
All told, I enjoyed what I heard of the program, apart from the mention of Christmas
... (just joking).
73's 'till next month (although I am considering hibernation between the 15th of December and the 15th of January ... thus avoiding Christmas).

Hi Robin/Paul and the radio Ramona team
Thanks for the signal reports, it was a busy day for BRI, with the test from 5am to 8am, then the early start from 9am which ended up running on repeat through until 5.30pm!! this was unavoidable, however it seems the signal was better during the afternoon so maybe it paid off. sadly 6240khz is prone to the odd burst of QRM but it does tend to be there for only short periods at a time, we have often thought of looking for another channel, but they are in short supply on 48mtrs we do not intend to move to another band, we have been here for too many years now, old habits die hard!!! so hopefully you will stick with us on 6240khz.
Sorry Robin for reminding you of Xmas! I realise it was rather early to play the Kate Bush song but I thought it would be more suitable when the show is re-broadcast on the 4th Sunday it will almost be December.
I was pleased with all of your reports much apprieciated, you will get a mention in December`s broadcasts.
