Hi all:

I looked for " EAR " on Mon. night without a lot of sucess. J.B.s
beacon is always difficult for me to catch. However on Tues night
I started looking around 9:30 pm local time and was surprised to see
" EAR " pop up out of the noise around 10:16pm EDST. I first thought 
it was just some ghost signal, but then I started seeing the 
characters. The signal peaked between 12:30am to 1:45am EDST, and 
started to fade out around 2am. By 3:30am EDST it was gone for the 
night. This incident is completely out of the usual for me where I
usually start to receive signals around 2am until sunrise. Distance
between us is 566 miles. I have been looking for " EAR " since I 
started lowFER-ing in 2007, and last night( 9-28-2010 )was the best
I have ever copied his signal, AND !! the earliest... I hope the 
capture comes thru as an attachment. It dosen't look super impressive,
but like I mentioned; this is the best I have ever received " EAR "

73 all, and good lowFER-ing
