[Lowfer] April 9 2009 beacons copied in NE IL

[Garry Hess]

Copy of WD2XES on Wolf was quite good last night. Decodes were obtained 
well before midnight, local time. Seemed like TAG would be easy to 
decode but nearly a full decoding period around midnight produced only 
the usual lock onto the correct frequency. XR on 184.322 kHz was missed 
the night before so it was looked for and found with ARGO QRSS-30 at 
0600Z. Tuning was returned to 185.800 kHz to again look for TAG and it 
finally paid off with decodes after 0800Z. The morning was ended tuned 
to the watering hole at 185.300 kHz. MP was strong but CV was just 
barely noticeable. Nothing was seen of WM or WM(2) despite the latter 
showing well on the W3EEE grabber.
