Well by 1915  or so signal was fine and increased after the afternoon
progressed (and their beam came closer around to us).  Great signal to
levels over S9 with no background noise and the only occasional data burst.
Maybe just here in western canada but right around 2330 their signal took a
major dive - S9 to almost nothing - as they turned the antenna?  In theory
they were turning more towards us at that time.   It was also close to local
sunset too.  Anyone else notice this big drop?
