Conditions on the route to./from Chelmsford
were very patchy and the the difference of a few hundred
miles to Italy significantly changes the propagation pattern.

Swapping the transmit and receive sites suggests
a quite unusually asymmetric path, which explains why Edwin was
struggling to hear me - while he was fine over here.
