[Lowfer] MX (VO1NA) in EN90xn

[Michael Sapp]

Gary: Thanks for the update.   I did notice that MX was coming through on 
Stefan's grabber last evening around the same time as my MX capture.  A day 
earlier,
SIW was also a reasonable copy in QRSS60 on the morning of the 28th after 
0600UTC or so through mid-day....

    No sign of WM lately, but the LF/MF propagation was not so great last 
week. 630M WSPR2 signals were robust to the SW last nite and I had one 
decode of XSH/20 just before sunrise...although it did not seem to upload to 
the database for some reason....

    I completed and installed the second F82-75 binocular transformer for my 
EWE antenna over the weekend and it shows ~.1dB insertion loss at 17.2 kHz 
after subracting jumper cable loss.

    Since I had the other pair of BN73-202 10.5:1 transformers (one for each 
end of the antenna) for the LF/MF EWE antenna out of service, I ran a 
back-to-back transformer insertion loss test....they seemed to survive the 
nearby summer lightning strikes OK and the numbers were not that different 
when I tested them "new" with an old Booton RF voltmeter and signal 
generator.  Rather obvious why I had no copy on Dex's 8820 signal earlier in 
the month....

   I will do a 8kHz to 4 MHz back to back test on the F82-75 bino 
transformers sometime this week....
