[Lowfer] NC Lo-Medfer 2nd best DX report.

[Dale Rice]

Eric,
That was pretty impressive wasn't it? I have taken a half hearted look for
it myself but didn't expect much and didn't get much.
I have been looking more seriously for MedFER UWL and I do expect to see it
sooner or later, but a couple of things would help. QRSS30 or slower seems
to be called for and of course knowing the precise frequency. It would also
be reassuring to know that it has recently been tuned and has some realistic
antenna current.

I am still trying to get my MedFER and LowFER on the air, I don't know which
one will make it first.
