[Lowfer] WMS and XR

[Garry Hess]

Paul and Andy, I listened again for your beacons and this time detected 
both signals right around my QRSS-30 noise floor. Only an occasional 
character stood out but both signals were definitely in there. Found WMS 
around 187492 kHz from 0600Z to 0800Z, when tuning was changed to 184322 
kHz for XR. It was detectable until about 0945Z when I guess local 
sunrise nearing (1026Z) moved it below the noise floor.

As usual, this morning both MP and EAR are easy copy. Last night 
WD2XSH/6 in Mississippi was decent copy on 505.266 kHz but WD2XSH/12 in 
Colorado on 505.4 kHz was marginal. Just the opposite of the previous 
night. NDBs were scarce but SW in Oklahoma on 255 kHz was copied before 
looking for WMS.

Thanks to all for keeping your beacons up. Guess copy will be marginal 
at best until fall but it's nice to see they're at least detectable in 
near summer.
