[Lowfer] Signal on 137 kHz

[John Andrews]

Jerry,

The triangular waveform was indeed from WD2XES in Holden, Mass. It 
provides an interesting way to watch fading patterns, particularly on 
the path to EU. Last night, there were short term fades on the F1AFJ 
grabber, but also some very long-term fades (over an hour), where the 
signal would completely disappear.

Your screen-shot was very nice. Thanks for the report.

John, W1TAG/WD2XES
