[Lowfer] 10 mW into SE Kansas on 630 m

[John Langridge]

Outstanding JD!  thanks.  Its amazing to see that virtually non-existent signal in the waterfall.  I'll be back to 30dbm tonight.  Thanks so much for your efforts!

John XIQ

Oops!  I left out the final subdirectory.  Here's the hopefully-correct 
path:

The signal returned quite a few times overnight, along with a few others. 
XXM started up at 0158 and had the band to himself for a while.  Then there 
was a partial decode of what I take to be XSH/20 (grid CN83) at 0440, XIQ at 
0448 and a couple more times before XXM apparently shut down for a while 
after 0530.  From then on, it was mostly XIQ, with some others joining in, 
until XXM returned later.  Samples:

Didn't see any more XIQ after the 1046 slot, and it looks like XXM shut down 
after the 1150 slot.
