[Lowfer] EAR and WI into Denver this morning

[Michael Sapp]

John & Mark: I was quite impressed as well with Mark's captures this 
morning.  A shot of EAR here in EN90xn from this afternoon after a cal and 
hanging about 12 feet of 36 inch wide black ground cloth from an overhead 
return duct to act as a radiant and convection barrier from the furnace to 
the radios....EAR now coming in quite stable with 3 o 4 heat cycles 
completed, amazing what basic thermal management can do....

I should be within a quarter Hz or so of the Sprectracom Rx internal 
reference....

Mark, I also saw what is likely a PLC at/near 187.507 (near lowfer WI freq) 
when I switched to my NE EWE transformer to copy EAR. Must be local signal 
and in the EWE null as it completely disappears when I listen on the SW 
transformer...not very stable either....

I'll leave the FT-847 on WI's freq and see when it pop's in this 
evening....I'm guessing a few hours after sunset....
