This morning approximately 845am.
29.650 71.9 HB9HD Repeater. Highest 10 Meter Repeater worldwide. Located on Fronalpstock mountain in Switzerland.
Hey, thats funny...the melody at the beginning is well known in Switzerland, called "Looking over mountains and valleys"
It was used on shortwave (Swiss Radio International SRI) back in the days. Listen to this melody on Wikipedia
Puts a tear in my eye, hit me like a brickwall with this fading in your recording. What once was.

A smaller opening to California on Friday (after a killer one on Thursday) and today, Saturday before and after local sunset delivered the following: (If you had told me a week or two ago that I would be listening to the CHP on 45 mhz I would have laughed. Magical stuff.
