[Lowfer] LF tonight in KS

[JD]

Wasn't much to hear during my time in the field, roughly 0130 to 0430 UTC.

Nothing at all on 2200 meters...no TA traffic at the low end, and not even 
MP at the upper end!!??  I checked each end for about 20 minutes when I 
first got to the field, and about half an hour at each end of the band again 
just before quitting for the night.

On 1750 around 8:30 CST I could see a little bit of SIW, pieces of what 
should have been WMS, and faint squiggles between them.  WM improved for a 
while, then began a slow fade out as first SIW and then WMS became much more 
distinct.

The LWBC stations were non-existent early in the evening, but showed up 
faintly later, about the time they normally begin fading out for the night. 
DCF77 was only fair, and I may have heard HBG, but it was very weak and hard 
to distinguish the modulation, considering how the moderately heavy static 
was affecting the receiver's AGC.  If it was Switzerland, it was the first 
time in some weeks that I've been able to hear it.  JJY 40 kHz was not 
present yet when I began listening...it doesn't normally show up very well 
until after midnight, but was about the same strength as DCF77 by 10:30 PM 
tonight.
