Not sure if my earlier message made it to the server, but I was finally=20
able to drag
BRO out of the noise on Thursday and again on Friday of last week. BRO was
considerably weaker than LEK at this location, but readable. This marks my
sixth lowfer station logged here this season.

Since then I've been running nearly non-stop screen captures on WA's=20
signal, but
results so far have been poor. Only slight traces of the signal have been
readable so far, with best results coming just before Dawn local time.

Last night was ruined by the approach of a storm front, which I fear
heralds the start of our Spring storm season. Tonight is guaranteed to
be useless too.

WA remains the primary target of this station....so as soon as the storms
pass, it will back to full time listening for WA again. If anyone still=
 needs
to put XM into their logbook before season's end, please let me know.
I can operate in either QRSS60 or WOLF mode depending on your needs.
Hopefully, JDH and Steve will continue their attempts this weekend.
XM will be in "hot standby" should conditions indicate that a 2,000 plus
mile reception might be possible. If not, theres always next year!
