[Lowfer] WE2XGR/2 mid day groundwave test

[Garry Hess]

Jay, Wolf is the winner here. Having a lot of bursty QRN, perhaps from 
neighbors turning things on and off, and a wandering spur very close to 
506.5 kHz. That caused me to switch from an e-probe to a small loop 
halfway through the first QRSS30 session. Regardless, only parts of the 
message came through. The "2, G, and R" were ok but only the first dash 
in "X" appeared.

Wolf locked to the correct frequency in only about 6 minutes during the 
second session but labored to get the full decode:

2012-02-26 16:30:03 >WOLF10  -r 11100.274 -f 400 -t 1.0 -w 0.0000 -ut
...
16:36:27 f: 0.010 pm:33.07 jm:941 q: -5.8 -5.9 765/SPB B.4KT8M -
...
16:54:03 f: 0.010 pm:91.06 jm:941 q: -2.3 -4.6 XGR/2 38F CLEAR -

The third session, using QRSS30, was a bit worse than the first. Only 
"2, and R" were copied fully.

Guess propagation really faded for the fourth, Wolf, session because by 
1756Z didn't even lock to the right frequency. I see Dex seems to have a 
fade too via his grabber.
