It appears .922 is "useful" but the conditions over the weekend were weird 
at my base. I checked out the 135.922 area before dark on Saturday and there 
were a couple of signals showing up - one at .9222 and one just above. Then, 
it must have been a light dimmer, but everything including Loran line 
dropped off considerably and I never saw much more all night. I was watching 
.922 last night around midnight and a couple of strong dashes appeared at 
135.9222 followed by a dot and the strength dropped off. Then a thunderstorm 
hit and I had to disconnect the lead-in. Not much after re-connecting. This 
morning at 9:00 - nothing, but it looks like you make have shifted to .78 by 
that time? Not sure if last night I saw a 'G' from John, MFB, Andrews or an 
M and partial P from you. (MFB = make fun of Bill).  What was your exact 
freq last night?

I should be able to see you at your regular 137.780 location in spite of 
CFH. Will let you know.

Bill

PS: WA is currently off for a mod to the frequency divider circuit. Back on 
tonight at 'low level' whatever freq I can select that is clear locally in 
the 127-137 area.
