[Lowfer] " XR " in QRSS-180 tonite

[Andy - KU4XR]

Ok, it looks like the frequency has settled at 185,298.92 KHz...
I don't know why the upward shift from the previous frequency,
but it appears to be holding right there for the time being.
The Osc. Insulating seems to have almost stopped the drift when
the AC comes on. It is a very Hi-Tech system of 2 pieces of 
Styrofoam, and wrapped in an old rag, then covered with a box.
The most drift I have seen in 2 hours is .01 Hz viewing with
ARGO in 120-SLOW mode. Hoping to get another mile or 2 down the
road; all reception reports greatly appreciated.. 73 all:
