Brilliant stuff well done :D

Strange things happen with extreme fringe reception and occasionally someone gets lucky being in a "hot spot" well out of range due to a freak of recepetion

Thank you very much. I was asking for 13E because someone (years ago) wrote that 3m were enough in Khartoum. Probably the elder HB2/3/4 (except of the Superbeams of course) were a bit stronger but the newer HB 6/7A/8 seem to focus better the energy.

Would you mind to check some other beams as well ?

P.S.: Do you also get C-Band ?
