[Lowfer] The better part of valor...

[Douglas D. Williams]

Thanks for the report, John. Your adventures are always interesting to read.

I monitored 185.3kHz all night and got a few captures of WM, one solid SIW,
and traces of WMS. All signals seemed to disappear around midnight local
time, and when I took a look at the S-meter this morning, I see why. S9+
static, almost constant.

Well, my three day weekend is over. Hi-Ho, hi-ho, it's off to work I go.
