[Lowfer] WD2XGJ and others

[Garry and Linda Hess]

Warren,

I'm aware of the substantial sensitivity difference between CW and 
QRSS-60. However, for the latest report I had to use QRSS-3 to even 
detect WE2XGR/1, whereas "XGJ" was easily visible at that same rate (and 
of course looked great on the QRSS-30 waterfall). With comparable ERPs I 
didn't expect that. Instead, due to thunderstorms around the country, I 
expected the noise floor to be higher at 137 kHz than 500 kHz. Perhaps 
my receive sensitivity is just a lot worse at 500 kHz than 137 kHz, but 
I don't think so. It will be interesting to see how things fare on other 
occasions when both sources are active. Perhaps this was just an outlier 
propagation situation rather than the norm.
