This year the transmission was at 10:00 UTC and good "winter RX" despite electrical noise.
Reception conditions- BBB-4 homemade modified receiver, vertical road 3.5m antenna and Baudline software. Also i try a Fldigi cw decoder. The signal was about 559 strenght but i use an ALSA audio plugin for x5 amplification.
