[Lowfer] XIQ last nite

[John Langridge]

Thanks Mike, still pretty noisy down there.

By the way, for something completely different, I'm halfway entertaining the idea of running the ARRL FD CW Bulletin as a beacon this weekend at the top of every hour on or around 473.65 KHz as an outreach and exposure opportunity for the band.  I am working to get the ARRL and the NTX section manager behind the idea.  Really focusing on the ground wave in the NTX section but if the storm noise stays down, it might be available over a wider range... details as this develops.

73 and thanks again for listening!

Hi All, a few XIQ decodes on 600M early AM hours, Light traces visible in the 0600Z hour but no decode on SW EWE transformer.. No decodes on XKA in 0500Z hour on NE EWE transformer (18' X70' X18' with insulated on-ground wire between NE & SW ground rods. Ttransformers on each end of single EWE). TAG was visible from 0200~0500 on 185.297 but rapid qsb the whole time. TAG peak sigs at -66 on ARGO QRSS 60 but many fades below -75.....73 Mike wa3tts

Applied DC "sealing current" to each end of antenna B4 listening. Reduced resistance 1 ohm on SW end and .2 ohm on NE end....
