Hey All:

I recently canabalized some old EBS units, and got a few tunable
Inductors with a high value. Using those, and a variable capacitor,
I made a very nice little Band Pass filter for my LOWfer reception.
Static crashes last night were almost a constant 20dB over S-9.

I was looking for traces of " W E B " and finally got a couple
around 6 am local time ( 11:00 Zulu ). After things quieted down
in the early morning, I got either 2 dits, or 2 dahs, distinctly,
but I was using Spectran in QRSS-30 as slow as it would run, so I'm
I had not sur yet what they were. I'll look at the again tonite and
try to determine. I had to shut down at around 6:45 am and it looked 
like another character was scrolling out.

Tonite, since I don't have to work tomorrow, I'll try it again and
leave it on to take advantage of all the greyline enhancement I can.
