Saw Andy's signal again this afternoon, before tonight's shutdown. 
Excellent work, even though XR and 7P had a little collision at the time I 
tuned in, about an hour before sunset.  Could make out the XR ID just fine, 
though. Will post a picture tomorrow at the LW Message Board. Also saw JIM 
for a little while today, plus NC, EH, the SIW duo, and USC. (There was 
still that faint smear around .414 where I hope to see TAG some day, but 
still nothing definite.)

HiFERing is a little different from current trends on LF. Lack of reports 
for every single HF reception does not mean lack of interest!  Most of us 
HiFER nuts are doing long-term observations.  We may check nearly every day, 
but only report maybe a couple times a month, or more often whenever there 
is a noticeable change in conditions. With spring approaching, there are 
getting to be more such changes daily. This is merely the start of the busy 
season for HiFERs! I'm already running late getting my own on.

It's important when trying to make sense of the nuances of propagation to 
have as many regulars on the air from as many directions and distances as 
possible. So, thanks for being on while you were, Andy, and I hope you will 
be returning fulltime soon.

John
