[Lowfer] 2nd QSO G14DPE / WE2XGR/2

[Jay Rusgrove]

   Just completed another QSO with Finbar. This one lasted about 15 minutes and call signs, two sets
of signal reports (to report changing conditions), outdoor temperatures and other bits of
information were successfully exchanged. There was less QRN at XGR/2 than Tuesday night making copy
on this end somewhat easier...although signals were still very weak. Finbar appeared to have very
good copy.

There was fairly rapid (about 10 second) QSB that would take signals into the noise but in short
order they popped back up again. This QSO happened to take place at the same time as Tuesday night's
QSO (not planned that way), although Finbar reported hearing XGR/2 in beacon mode at least a half
hour earlier (0030Z). More study of this path should prove interesting now that we know Tuesday
night's QSO wasn't a one time occurance.
