[Lowfer] Reception over night in NE IL

[Garry Hess]

Noise levels have been quiet for several days now but signals not 
impressive. Spent most of last night monitoring 518 kHz Navtex and found 
conditions to the east good (decoded Greenland stations, $04I and $04W, 
and Bermuda, $04B) but not so good west (only regulars San Francisco, 
$12C, and long Beach, $12Q decoded).

VLF monitoring yielded JXN, 16.4 kHz. JXN regularly comes in strong on 
the KL7UK Alaskan grabber (http://kl7uk.com/VLFAlaska.html) but this is 
the first time this season to copy it. The 3 VLF Alpha signals were 
pretty good around 1130Z too.

Lowfer BR was in very well at 0900Z on 185.588 kHz. Looked for SJ 
earlier on 186.85 kHz since it was announced it would be QRV on Dec 7 
but didn't find anything.
