In the
morning we discovered that the 300° beverage did a good job with lots of east
coasters while they were hardly present the last few weeks. The non-terminated 40/220° beverage however
was not really a success. So we considered to add 400 m of coax to the far end
of the antenna to make it sensitive to the Far East only. Luckily the weather was fine but still very
windy. It was really a good decision
while soon JOFR, RKB Radio 1278 kHz from Japan popped up at good strength. Also
Hebei RGD Xinwen Guangbo from China was really good for several minutes on the
same frequency with lots of local ID’s during their sign on procedure. Later
Leo managed to catch a short but very nice Navtex decode from Shangai Navtex on
518 kHz.

Around midday, our local contact man Hugo delivered freshly baked sandwiches and bread. Earlier he had provided already hand baked waffles that tasted very well. Hugo was glad to have us there so he could learn more about the Jaguar SDR software, RTL sticks Airspy and weather balloon hunting.

Furthermore a few of us did some sightseeing in Veurne which is really a nice little city.
