[Lowfer] "PBO" tid bits

Andy,

It would help if you named your attachments as .jpg files rather than 
binary. After I opened your file I found it had compressed away 
information on time and frequency.

I looked last night a bit for PBO too, from about 0930-1200Z. That's 
certainly later than optimal but when I started EMP was coming in good 
enough to aurally copy the Morse code. I'm lucky to have no TV 
interference, just one "weird" trace and a couple of spur lines. Only 
thing that might have been PBO was quite high in frequency, around 
187.2013 kHz, so I doubt that was really it. If you indicate the 
frequency where you saw it that would remove the doubt.

I've only caught traces of PBO in a couple of years of trying. I also 
have trouble with the WMs, but recently they've both been showing up on 
watering-hole captures. For some reason, probably the great sensitivity 
of Wolf, TAG regularly decodes and SJ comes in decently from the East 
even at QRSS20 when it's QRV.
