[Lowfer] Wednesday night WSPR & other

[JD via Lowfer]

Less noise last night than the prior session. Just got done uploading 
the log.  Those present include regulars XXM and XIQ, plus XKA, XGP, 
and XSH/20.

  I did a long monitoring session of MP from mid-afternoon to a couple 
hours after sunset, the first time I'd been able to do that since its 
return.  You may recall the sunrise capture from Wednesday morning.  
Unfortunately, noise picked up early that afternoon and virtually 
obliterated MP for the rest of the day, even using 60-second mode to 
watch.  Yesterday was much better.

After switching over to WSPR at 630 m, I was looking for excessive 
decode times due to XXM... and, unfortunately, they still do happen, 
even in the wider bandwidth, no noise blanking, and no audio limiting.  
There were several occasions last night where Argo showed ample signal 
 from the more distant stations, but I got no decodes because WSPR was 
still working to make sense of the excessively fuzzy signal from XXM 
all by itself, up to two full timeslots before!  Not sure what to do 
about that.
