[Lowfer] Saturday Night at 185 kHz

[us66soft at aol.com]

As with 137 kHz, it was also static-y at 185 kHz here in SE Kansas last 
night.  However, there were fewer LWBC sidebands than usual, and PLCs 
were mainly staying away from my target frequencies, with a couple of 
exceptions.

WMS and SIW (the latter down at 185.185 for the night) were not 
particularly audible, but very solid on screen.  I was able to copy BR 
by ear quite well, including the LSB voice ID sometimes.  No luck with 
PBO (where one of the aforementioned exception PLCs was parked) nor SJ, 
Z2 or MBD, for whom I was also checking.

With minimal broadcast sidebands from Iceland in the wee hours and no 
powerline buzz at all last night, I managed to see EAR the most clearly 
of any time all year thus far.  If I had room to show the whole window, 
you could see EAR just about all alone in the blue background, with 
only the faintest hint of one other carrier to be seen.
