[Lowfer] VE7SL /b

[Steve Ratzlaff]

OK, I wasn't hearing the real VE7SL signal; apparently something else which 
is much weaker. I just caught the real SL carrier and just happened to be 
between QRSS--that's why I caught the cw ident. The signal is strong, easily 
heard above the static crashes. Course I'm almost exactly 336 miles from him 
(NDB 378 AP is less than a mile from him).
