9N1CA (near Kathmandu ?,Nepal) 59,VU3LGT 59 (Asansol)
Heard strong breaking signal of another ham around 0848ist(0318utc) & another breaking signal heard around 0902ist(0332utc) approx...but the second breaking signal strength was weaker...no callsign heard in both cases.
Sometimes signal strength (QSA) of both stations went down but it picked up strength and became extremely strong ,
0902ist> VU3LGT 9N1CA both the stations 59 & beyond..

Monitor's Note:

VU2DBM 59++
Monitor's Note:
The signal strength(QSA) of VU3ZRI suddenly up & became extremely strong from 0928ist & also later too the two most consistent 59 level stations of Guwahati VU2DBM & VU2YPB became too strong in QSA level & I had to adjust my manual AGC..HI HI volume control as usual for VU2DBM...

An Amateur Radio News Item.....
Kolkata HF Net in the morning on 40mb A New HF Net for the weekend:
From last weekend(i.e.saturday-Sunday),I heard on 7145kHz lsb between 0730-0800ist approximately ,this net with VU3JXF as netcontroller.I heard as far as I could recall strong signal of VU3ZBG from Barasat( checking in & participants ..VU2DBE,VU2EHL(from different parts of Kolkata) ..Though I have noted down the details of reception,I am unable to trace it out..Hope I will be able to monitor it and will note down the details.
There may be slight error here & there in my reports etc...they are totally unintentional.
More reports/observations etc soon.
