[11:38] 60,000 ft is a little high for snow [11:38] vortex1 [11:38] is there a particular one that we have been asked to look for? [11:38] we have very clear packets on vortex main [11:39] CHRISG7OGX, please just pick any payload which looks lonely [11:39] I'm getting good decodes on VORTEX on .077 [11:39] V3 is good in Sussex as well as V, helioss is very poor copy [11:39] good that's ok then. some frequency wavering here [11:39] HelioSS doesn't have many friends at the moment! [11:39] (and is a pig to decode) [11:40] lol ok will do sort of sidle up and ask if she wants a drink! [11:40] every so often it gets drowned by white noise [11:40] I think shes had too many already!
