[Lowfer] 474.2 kHz WSPR over night

[Garry Hess]

Had nearby storms develop here over night but the west coast stations 
decoded fairly well anyway when the receivers were fired up. Shut them 
down a couple times to protect against lightning. Like others have 
found, propagation has really perked up recently. Listened with both an 
eprobe and a 10' loop. Generally they're well-matched but when the loop 
was reaimed NW it produced SNRs several dB better then the eprobe for 
the west coast stations, even though the storms were 100 miles to the 
west and thus not in the loop nulls.
