Propagation changed markedly for the better (the skip shortened), so much so that I heard Merlin romping in with SINPO 54544
via the  Weston Super Mare SDR for about 30 minutes after tuning in, up to the arrival of Cupid on 6300. I  had tuned to 6304
in order to eradicate the mildly annoying whistle on 6305 caused by the slight squeeze from the ute on 6310. Why it was there is a mystery
to me given that 6308 USB is supposed to be a distress channel for mariners. The S meter was peaking at S9 +10 when I was recording
Merlin for Paul Watt. (Contributors to Iann's Pirate Chat had previously mentioned that the skip was shortening prior to that time.)
