Monitor's Note:

There was significant QRM from digital transmissions on this frequency  specially right from the beginning of my monitoring session from 0619(0049utc) onwards for sometime.VU2RZA from Chennai observed it there in Chennai too.

There was sudden jump of signal of VU3BTP from 33 to 59 around 0624ist(0054utc ) onwards.

9N1CA also noted with sudden jump of signal to 56 around 0630ist(0100utc) onwards just earlier noted in case of VU3BTP.And I am the most  lucky monitoring ham(HI HI) to to wintess to the skip lifting moments twice on the same day  HI HI!!

With Best Wishes
