Worked on bunch of stations on 28.425 USB. After I was done with those, I heard a fairly strong but unintelligible sig and wondered if it might have been someone trying me on AM. When aloft I can't adjust my radio settings so I couldn't get clear reception.

Will do this again and hope to get some AM skeds for the next jump.

Thanks to my good friend RCAF Capt Jim Wilson who shot the inflight photos over Byron CA.
