[Lowfer] DK7FC in EN90xn last nite

[Michael Sapp]

Hi All: Stefan's 137.162 kHz signal was captured here just after sunset through to about 0400 ~ 0430 when the enhancement faded.  One other brief fade interval a few hours after sunset....

Null zone of my LF EWE antenna seemed to manage the QRN from the wx down in the Gulf off the AL, MS, LA, TX coast

well enough.

Local noise source kept me off 600M band after 0500 so I set up on the watering hole 185.300.  A few possible TAG traces overnite

and possible SIW traces started around 1030UTC....not enough for a positive ID but consistent near 185.2993~4

Unterninated the EWE and listened on the NE transformer for a "omni ~ North" mode that seems to work

better than listening SW terminated and 3~4 dB down from SIW being off the side of the directive antenna pattern

with all the Gulf QRN....
