Hi and welcome to LowFER-land. Hi. Eric gave a good link to an
independent site. Here is another important site to look at. It's the
home page for U.S. LowFER activity. To get an idea of the scope of
involvement move down the main page for topics and other links.

But note, our work at 1750 meters is not two way activity, only low
powered beacons that mostly transmit very slow cw that can't be heard
audibly! Yes, like we're "invisible," until our receivers are hooked up
to a pc running specialized software (Argo, for one) to decipher a
signal out of the apparent noise. That is how "communications" occur at
1750. So we see signals on a pc monitor screen, no audio.

As you suggested when noting 160M activity slowing down, the same holds
sway here. Best low noise (QRN-wise) months are late Oct thru March.
Then activity becomes sparse, giving way to QRN.

Cheers, Peter, N. IL
