[Lowfer] Stations copied last night in NE IL

[Garry Hess]

July began with loads of lightning activity on the map at 
http://thunderstorm.vaisala.com/explorer.html. Nonetheless, WD2XGJ was 
transmitting on 137.7799 kHz and being received well by the F1AFJ 
grabber around 0200Z. Used an e-probe/SDR-IQ setup here and received XGJ 
very well too - strong enough to easily see with QRSS-3 bandwidth. At 
0300Z moved to 189.95 kHz for WEB with a 10' loop/IC706 setup and it was 
also in there good enough to see with QRSS-3 bandwidth. Unfortunately, 
couldn't find WMS on 187.49 kHz after that. The rest of the night was 
spent trying to decode TAG with the pre-filter Andy mentioned. No luck 
there either but in the morning found the antenna was still on the 
heading for WMS. Next time I'll try to listen without Murphy.
