[Lowfer] /16 on the air 507.90kc CW

[PAUL DAULTON]

Ive not seen WEB for last three or four weeks, yet I have gotten reports
 on WMS
beacon from 450 to 600 miles. No luck looking for COV or XR here either.
 Bill Ashlock
express an opinion a few weeks ago in a email that 250 miles was a bad
 distance for
NDB and lowfer beacons. Wish we had more beacons so I could tell more
 about propagation.
Maybe Andy should build a fire under the new owners of those kits he made
 up.
I didnot get a chance to repair WMS today. Will take care of that
 tomorrow. It doesn't
take a direct strike, this has happened three times last spring in thunder
 storms. Beacon is
160 ft from the house and I am not brave enough to go out and disconect
 the antenna in
a thunderstorms.
I gues we should enjoy the long propagation while it lasts.
Paul

Strange band conditions tonight. All NDB's about 300 miles or closer are  
not heard. Real long band conditions.
