[Lowfer] WEB

[Paul Daulton]

Same here Garry, couple of nights he wasn't visible at all. 

One morning I got an id sequence of web at sunrise. 

I have another chip and two more in the mail today to move WMS up a 
bit. Heavy t'storms and humidity last couple of days. My dxer friend 
and neighbor says there was a solar flare last week with number up to 
85, since lowfer is supposedly inverse of sunspots could this be the 
reason. 

If it hadn't een for Ralphs grabber I would have been tearing my 
station apart thinking something was wrong. 

I sure would like a comparison of new WMS tx to old tx, from you and Peter. 

We have had bone chilling 65 degree temp here last few days :) <grin>
