[Lowfer] " XYW " received in Friendsville, Tn. - KU4XR

[Andy Bell]

I felt good to be able to finally capture Ted's -
KC3OL " XYW " beacon on 137.777KHz on Fri. 12-29-07,
around 11pm EST. After winding a new coil that added
about 15dB extra gain in the antenna setup, the signal
came above the noise floor for a respectable ARGO
capture, even with thunderstorms causing 20dB over 9
static crashes. The distance is 632 areonautical miles
from my QTH.
73 to all: Andy - KU4XR
