[Lowfer] Beacon WM

Bill, conditions were enhanced to New England last night, as evidenced 
by the presence of 332 kHz NDB BE in Massachusetts. Unfortunately, that 
didn't make much difference in my copy of your beacon - just occasional 
pieces. Copy is made difficult here by spurious wandering signals that 
sit right between MP and  CV (i.e., where WM is). They seem to be 
present almost any time sky waves are coming in. I hope a second 
orthogonal loop and an MFJ-1026 can null them, at least a bit. Should 
have that going in a week or two. It will be interesting to see how your 
reference loop does.
