[Lowfer] W3EEE grabber down

[Garry and Linda Hess]

Last night around 0900Z, 2/12/09 the W3EEE grabber went "deaf". Prior to 
that it had been doing a good job displaying ARGO QRSS-30 signals from 
MP and WM. The web page works, but received signals are absent, for 
whatever reason. The good WM displays raised hopes I would see it too 
but that didn't happen. MP was in there, along with traces of CV, but no 
WM was apparent. Beacon WEB was coming in well and NDB HBT on 390 kHz  
from well out the Aleutian Island chain in Alaska (3257 miles) was fair 
copy at 0830Z. Signals from the east should not have been bad either 
because NDB POR on 327 kHz nearly 4000 miles away in Portugal was copied 
around 0430Z. However, TAG decoding attempted after 1000Z was not 
successful so not seeing WM was probably to be expected. Perhaps 
tonight  propagation will be better.
