[COham] Need LF Beacon Reports from CO

[Craig D. Smith]

Paul ...

I just heard you at 0100.  I'm still hearing the warbly carrier at about
480, but not as strong as this afternoon.  Could copy your CW well, but I'd
give you somewhere between S0 and S1 here on my poor antenna in Longmont.
R75 with 300 Hz filter.
