[Lowfer] Friday Night

[JD]

Here's the highlight of the night.  I'll do other pictures later.

There was moderate static when I started listening, but by a quarter after 
11 (CDT) I could tell there were carriers where XES ought to be.  Over the 
next hour, pieces of characters started materializing, until finally I had a 
complete, clear, and unambiguous ID about 12:15.  Things began deteriorating 
again a little after that, with pretty much nothing on 2200m, 1750m, or 22m 
between 5:45 and 7:15 AM (daybreak +/- 45 minutes), after which MP, SIW, and 
HiFER NC gradually returned.

During the night I though I might have found EAR.  The suspect was 2 Hz 
above the listed frequency, though, and could just as easily have been a 
steady but weak carrier chopped up by static.  It, too, disappeared for a 
while on either side of sunrise.  When it started fading back in, there was 
considerably less static, and then I could easily tell that it was an 
uninterrupted carrier.  I'll just have to keep trying for EAR.
