However, I also cross reference it with the HFCC site - http://www.hfcc.org/data/index.html - In this instance they seems to vary slightly, with HFCC noting that the first half hour (between 13.00 and 13.30) originates from Moscow. Then switches relays and uses Armavir from 13.30 to 15.00. Barry, I know you said the signal "faded" but if you lost the signal totally after 13.30 then this may be the reason.?? I may be splitting hairs a bit here, but it's just a thought. - (N/A - Guernsey - 17th,Jan.2008)
