No its still the same.

The elusive but not so shy (in print anyway) niteflite01.
Usually so careful about hiding its identity and covering its tracks has lately been leaving a few crumbs of evidence.
Does it want to be unmasked?
Can it no longer take the pressure of being a self-proclaimed wanted prooner?

Enjoy your sleep. See you on Wednesday!

Unhappy

I was in the northern part of MAN at the time
and it was rush hour in the morning.

It's strange because I used to be able to hear transmissions as clear as day but now I can hardly hear anything!!!! Never Mind.

Hmmmm very strange G-MANN.

As far as I know we've had no other problems with the APP frequency -was the frequency busy when you were calling?

The transmitter site hasn't changed and the Tx power certainly hasn't either. Maybe you should check your receiver / transceiver / antenna?

cossack - Of course I can take the pressure....I was born to take the pressure

I could always be throwing in a few red herrings What makes you think you'll be seeing me on Wednesday?

And I like the use of the word "it" - very apt - perhaps

Why Wednesday? Just a hunch
I think G-MANN is a listener rather than a caller, but it still doesn't explain why he can't hear our dulcit tones anymore.
New baterries required maybe?
How are the other frequencies?

Everything has been fine as far as I'm aware with the Tx equipment as I've said - can hear APP fine here at home on my Transceiver and whip and I'm bloomin' miles away

G-MANN - try Tower or even one of the ATIS' and see if they're any better as they come, mainly , from the same transmitter sites.

I should remind you - from a professional viewpoint at this stage - that if you're not licenced to monitor airband transmissions, under the Wireless and Telegraphy act of 1949 you're actually breaking the law. A very silly law in my opinion but nonetheless.........as a professional, allegedy, I can't be seen to be condoning such actions

Did that sound convincing?

Cossack buddy - Another couple of clues for you there I'm intrigued as to why you think you'll see me on Wednesday - feel free to mail me privately if ya like.

Are you TRUCE-ing this week with "PB" by any chance?

Another clue for you in the timing of this post too - I'm still here

And so are you come to think of it
