[Lowfer] SSB UPPER SIDEBAND 510 TONITE...

[Eric NO3M]

Thanks for the report.  I was running about 6-8W ERP tonight due to a 
problem w/ my modified SB-1000.  Conditions were not favorable, Warren 
XGR/1 started out good copy, but quickly dropped into a deep QSB fade 
and I was only able to catch occasional words.  Bob XGR/1 was solid 
copy, but less prominent than usual.

I'll leave it up to the XGR group to decide on a new QRG if it suits 
reception better for monitoring stations.
