[Lowfer] XM Test

[Les Rayburn]

I've been asked to conduct a QRSS60 transmission test this weekend
by two listeners still trying to put XM into their logbook. So, schedule
is as follows:

Tonight, I'll be looking for WA in the hopes that QRN levels will be low
enough and propagation good enough to capture his signal. So far, this
path has not produced good results.

Friday afternoon, I'll switch XM on in QRSS60 mode and leave it on all
weekend. Hopefully Steve McDonald can also try for us on the island for
the 2000+ mile path.

Starting Monday evening, I'll pull the switch and start looking for WA
again. Rumour has it that Mike up in Minnesota may have his beacon
on by the end of the weekend too...so they'll be others signals to
listen for.

Spring's coming, so I'm hopefully for some late season heroics!

73,

Les Rayburn, N1LF
