[Lowfer] WM Ellsworth and more in NE IL

[Garry Hess]

Last night TAG, 185.8 kHz Wolf10 decoded and SJ was coming in well on 
186.8492 kHz QRSS20 so tuning was shifted to the watering hole in hopes 
of catching the WM beacons. That paid off as a WMW sequence around 0800Z 
was quite weak but nonetheless in there using QRSS30, slow and a bit 
less contrast than usual.

I looked awhile for Andy, XR on 185.7 kHz WSPR and failed to get any 
decodes. However, his TX is working fine. Using 50% average duty cycle 
means XR is not always keyed and that allowed confirmation that the weak 
waterfall line seen was XR, not some spur.

I'm seeing two FSK-like signals around 84.8 and 85.2 kHz that I don't 
recall seeing before. This is the second night I've seen them. They're 
in there in the dead of night and not visible during the day. Probably 
spurs anyway but if anyone knows of possible sources there let me know.
