Well, Brian's fix of the final amplifier certainly did the trick. Checked my
e-mail late last night (slightly after midnight) and rushed down stairs
to start screen captures. Literally as soon as I fired up the active
antenna, RLD began to show up on the Argo screen.

Signal levels were just slightly below those normally received here for
NC, so the beacon was doing a fine job indeed. This makes the
4th new Lowfer beacon received here in the past three weeks or
so.

Left on the "hit list" are

1. WA
2. BRO
3. TAG

Tonight, I'll try for BRO again...hopefully with LEK as a reference signal.
After that I'll welcome the return of WOLF mode to the air, and try for
John's signal.

Not to complain, but I think Wild Bill had promised to give WOLF a go
this season. Bill, any chance that loop can howl?

Congrats again to Brian on his fine signal. This hobby is a lot more
fun when you can actually hear again!

73,
