[Lowfer] Medfer SIW

[Garry Hess]

Hi Mike,

What a pleasant surprise, especially since I don't run a Medfer (at 
least not according to the band breakdown per LWCA at 
http://lwca.org/sitepage/part15/index.htm). But I do run a pair of 
Hifers and you certainly copied them nicely. That's impressive because 
for HF we're relatively close. Mitch runs a hifer too but at just 600 km 
apart I seldom copy it, while others farther away copy it easily. The 
slash code hifer transmits via a ground-mounted quarter-wave vertical 
and the QRSS6 hifer transmits via a horizontal dipole up about 30'. 
Thanks for the nice capture.

Hifer activity isn't what it used to be around the watering hole (same 
for lowfer activity) but John Davis has made some great catches from his 
central US location showing at times EDJ, NC, BC, 7P, EH, MP, SIWs, USC, 
and others no doubt I've missed. Higher in frequency PBJ, MTI, and FRC 
come in here fairly often.
