[Lowfer] 137.78 watering hole

[jrusgrove at comcast.net]

XNS (137.781 kHz) was on for the period ~ 0200 - 0400Z last night. Nothing was seen on your grabber 
yet signals into the VE7TIL were 'normal' strength. I've noticed that your grabber has been 'hit or 
miss' showing signals. I've wondered several times if your antennas was intermittant, or got 
disconnected, or perhaps there is stong local interference that blanks out any trace of signals. 
Might be worth looking into.
