[Paul Daulton]

JD WMS is still off. I will probably turn it back on today. I didnt see 
SIW last night.

Quoting JD <listread at lwca.org>:
> Well, I remembered to un-short the antenna tonight, but I still didn't hear
> or see anyone else at 1750 or 2200 m...just EAR and MP, respectively. 
>
> Static was around S9 tonight with the buffer.  Without, it would have been
> well below S3.  This is typical of what it has been most of the past two
> weeks when there have not been storms within a few hundred miles.  Usually,
> that's low enough to allow me to copy SIW and WMS, but not tonight. 
>
> Several unfamiliar NDBs were pouring in as well as the regulars.  One new
> logging was HZP (248) Zionsville, IN; another seems to be ORC (521) from
> Orange City, IA, although the third dash of the "O" seems shorter than the
> first two.  I'm going to wait until morning, when my eyes may focus better,
> to look them up the rest of them.  There was also a mystery beacon with
> keying on 521, signing RPK unless my ears are deceiving me worse than usual. 
> There may be some question about the "P" but I'm pretty confident of the R
> and K, though I see no beacons listed on 521 or surrounding channels with
> similar identifiers. 
>
> Around 2 AM CST I ran across WD2XSH/7 on 476.3 alternating between regular
> CW and some FSK or PSK mode every several minutes.  Made a nice WAV
> recording of both for future reference.  Signals were typically S9+10 to
> +20, although there was a fade to S9 around 3 AM. 
>
> And a first for me tonight--JJY at 40 kHz, loud and clear!
