[Lowfer] 137 kHz...One Week Later

Since my capture of MP, XGJ, and NA on the night of the 6th, we had a flood 
of QRN and a drought of signals.  Only a couple of times over the week could 
I even see traces of MP, and 1750 meters was a total washout the whole time. 
Last night was a distinct difference!!!  While there were still plenty of 
static crashes that were 4 or 5 S-units over the background, there was no 
continuous roar at +10 like we'd been experiencing.

Sorry for the grittiness of the attached, but it needed a LOT of compression 
to fit both shots into one image.  The upper view features MP and NA, of 
course.  The lower shot is of WMS and SIW, although neither at 30-s normal 
(left) nor 30-s slow (right) could I keep the characters from being chopped 
up quite a bit by the remaining static.
