[Lowfer] The best DX night for " XR " this season

[Andy - KU4XR]

Hey Everyone:  1185 miles to Longmont, CO. from Friendsville.

Hope your day is well; I was thrilled to check my emails this
morning, and see that Jerry in CO. had gotten a capture from
" XR ". And it was right after I rewound the lower section of 
my variometer, and the output went up. That was at 10pm EST,
Garry in Il. also said the signal was the strongest he had seen
so far. I plan to rewind the upper section of the variometer
to get rid of spaces in the windings where I put screws for
tap points, only to find they were not needed. From all I've
read on the subject, this evidently improves the " Q " of the
coil, and helps lower coil loss.
I have always thought that Ham radio was fun, but LOWfer-ing
is absolutely the most addictive thing I've done so far.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE, and 73
