[Lowfer] Ellsworth and Andover WMs in NE Illinois

[Garry and Linda Hess]

Bill and other lowfer listeners,

I ran ARGO over night beginning around 0800Z, 3/19/09 on automatic, mode 
QRSS-30 slow, centered on 185.3 kHz. Conditions to the NE from Illinois 
were decently quiet by then and Elmira, NY NDB "ALP" on 245 kHz had been 
logged earlier. I looked at the captures this morning and, even though 
no Ws or Ms were certain, a carrier at 185.300.5 kHz was definitely 
present at times on each of the four captures made (the last was taken 
at 1125Z). The carrier peaked somewhat weaker than beacon CV, which 
comes in from the opposite direction to my shielded 10' loop antenna. Of 
course beacon MP was stronger yet. I'll send capture images from 
3/17/09, when the carrier is absent, and 3/19/09 when it's present to 
your personal email address.

73,
Garry, K3SIW, EN52ta, Elgin, IL
