[Lowfer] WEB And CV Lunch Time Captures

[Jerry Sharp]

Daytime conditions seem pretty good today, just finished doing captures 
of both WEB in Stafford, TX and CV in South Coffeyville, OK. I caught CV 
first, starting around noon MST (1900 UTC). I've copied CV midday 
before, in fact I've seen at least traces of his signal every day for 
the last week. Today was my best copy, though. You'll notice that about 
a third of the way through the copy I decided to change to "normal" 
speed, then decided that was blurring the print a bit too much for my 
taste and went back to "slow".

Starting about 12:45 PM MST (1945 UTC) I went to look for WEB, and found 
it. Unfortunately after one weak copy of his ID someone in the 
neighborhood turned something on and my Argo screen filled with noise:

CV is approx. 558 miles away.
WEB is approx. 906 miles away and is now my longest daytime lowfer DX.

On another note, whatever Andy did to his XR antenna last night, it 
seemed to help. I let Argo run all night and caught bits and pieces of 
his ID though out the night, but never enough for a full ID. If the good 
conditions hold and you dry out a little more, maybe tonight Andy!
