[Lowfer] LOWfer "XR" is back on the air

[PAUL DAULTON]

WEb was identifyable about 0300 local to 0600 local (1100z) very weak, but
 I was using SDR. I will try and
rearainge so I can run TS50 and SDR at the same time. Lightning map on
 w3eee site showed all bad weather was out 
over the Atlantic. Warren said he might be on 137 tonight. Mabye we will
 have a few days of good listening.
I tried XR and CV earlier with no luck.
Thanks for the report.
Paul

Andy,  
 
Your beacon came in well to NE IL over night (3/30/09). Traces on  
184.322 kHz were first noticed around 0530Z using ARGO QRSS-30 and by  
0830Z the copy was good. That continued through 0915Z when WMS was tried  
on 187.492 kHz, QRSS-60. It came in well too until 1100Z. WEB was  
checked a few minutes at a time WEB should have been sending QRSS-30  
signals, but CW is normally detectable here too yet neither showed on  
the ARGO waterfall. After sunrise at 1300Z both MP and EAR were copied  
at normal levels.  
 
NDB signals seem sparse compared to a month or two ago, but SPP was  
copied reasonably well on 387 kHz LSB from San Andres, Columbia (2073  
mile path) so DX possibilities persist.
