It's probably not as electrically quiet tonight as last night, but by
midnight, XIQ, XXM, and even XJM were pretty much regulars here.
XIQ and XXM traded places every so often for the distinction of
strongest signal. Static averaged S6, and both stations typically
bumped the meter up to S8. The reported SNR was most commonly -5 or -6
for these two, but both reached indications as high as -2 and as low as
-12 at different times. XJM varied from -21 to -29.
With such a promising early start, I'd like to have kept monitoring all
night. Unfortunately, I have appointments in the morning; and there
were strange vehicles lurking in the neighborhood of the farm, so I
wasn't about to leave gear out there unattended. Also, the big
year-old "deep cycle" battery has gotten kind of shallow...a 2 amp load
discharged it in three hours! So, it was time to pack it in for the
night. I've uploaded the spots to WSPRnet.
