[Lowfer] HiFER UWL in OR

Hey Ed,
Try running 'CW Get' software on his signal and see how well it decodes the
ID. You can get the software free on the 'net.

        As of 4:04 PM PST I am copying UWL by "earball" at about 50%, by
which
I mean that (when it fades up) I can catch about half of the letters in
any one ID and perhaps once in a while I can imagine I get them all.
For some strange reason the "L" comes through clearly almost every
time!  Lousy propagation today probably isn't helping much either.  If
this were a DX station from whom I wanted a QSL his report would be
something like "5-9-9 plus".  At least that's the way DXers seem to do
it.  I'm not one.

        I've been watching your CW ID on Spectran for a couple of days but
for
some stupid reason I didn't connect the rather strange display (smeared
in the frequency dimension) to CW until a few minutes ago.
