[Lowfer] Beacon comments

Garry,

I'm seeing your signal on 13555.445 kHz with a lot of fades. A shot of 
you and NC is attached. So, it's working! No sign of Hifer MP this 
weekend -- not sure if it is on or not. At the moment, you, NC and EH 
are the only copyable signals. Sunday daytimes are rough at the top end 
of the band due to broadcast interference.
