[Lowfer] 500 kHz QRSS3

[Garry Hess]

Lightning QRN was low last night so expected easy copy of WD2XSH/7 and 
WE2XGR/1 on 495 kHz QRSS3. The former was strong as usual but XGR was 
weak here, despite good signals to the Ohio grabber at 
http://home.windstream.net/ftemple/NE_Ohio_Grabber.html. Signals later 
from WD2XSH/12 in Colorado on 495.9 kHz WSPR were unimpressive too. N-S 
paths are generally better than E-W but at least a few distant western 
DGPS stations were doing well anyway: 287 kHz, MT; 291 kHz, NM; 312 kHz, 
NV; and 302 kHz, CA was in there but not quite strong enough to decode.

Conditions on HF were unusual over night. As late as 1 am their local 
time, two stations in England were decoding my 5 W dipole signal on 24 
MHz WSPR.
