I am on (WMS) at 187492 hz, Qrss30, 24/7. WEB comes in every night usually
 starting
at 0100 utc. WEB is on 189950 24/7 qrss 30 even hours, cw odd hours ,
 though the timer
gets off at times. On cw web appears as a straight line on qrss, I haven't
 been able to copy
his cw yet. MO has moved to another hams qth and is not back on yet. COV
 is down while
Charles does some work on his final. I think John Andrews has copied MP on
 the watering hole.
EAR and SJ are on. and of course Andy XJ.
WEB is the only one I can copy. I can generally copy him with my beacon
 running. But I will have to shut down for 
others as I get some desense. 
I will post a notice when I turn mine off , here and on lwca.
I've watched NC in the past via W3EEE grabber. Hope you put it back on .
 Maybe with a litttle encouragement
RM will put his back on.
I've only been copying for 3 years but seems like this year started early.
 Only report i've had was from  Charles(COV)
he was copying me audibly last week. 254 miles to  S Coffeyville, OK from
 here.
Bali distance calculator says  Stanfield,NC to Jacksonville,AR is 663
 miles. Thats about the maximum distance I had 
reports for( last FEB).
Rec equip here TS50 and either wire ant or pa0rdt mini whip.
Hope this helps.

What lowfer beacons are currently on other than XR? Looks like the  
FT-897D with balanced loop is working well. Glad that it is because I'm  
getting tired of trying to keep several selective level meters  
repaired. Also the 897 takes much less power to operate.
