[Lowfer] WG2XCT CW Beacon on 475.1 KHz

[JD]

My later start time tonight resulted in somewhat fewer bugs but no less 
lightning static, apparently.  Another continuous roar.

When I first got there around 9:30 PM CDT, I couldn't hear anything at all 
from XCT or even see a trace on Argo at QRSS3.  I diverted my attention to 
HF for a little while, where codar was blasting away fiercely, but I could 
still see USC, SIW slant mode, and NC, with the occasional trace of EH.

Returning to 475.1 around 10 PM, I did see a trace right on 475.100 and 
could hear keying faintly.  (Also, even though I was able to adjust my 
passband to put XSH/6 far enough down the slope to fall below audibility, 
Argo was still able to bring it up readably on a second screen.)  Pretty 
soon, XCT began creeping up in level.  At its peak, around 10:12 CDT, I 
could copy two and three characters at a time.  A "WG2" here and a "G2X" 
there were pretty convincing to me, at least.  The level dwindled after 
that, but seemed to be returning gradually again by the time I had to quit 
at 10:20.

With an S-unit little less QRN, I think copy would be quite solid.
