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
