[Lowfer] Daylight lowfers & WSPR Last nite

[Michael Sapp]

HI All: Continuing a test that started last nite on WSPR2, I combined both the NE and NW EWE antennas with a Magic-T combiner ---
which is not quite optimal for the frequency range and line impedance, but still seemed to cancel some local noise to improve reception.

VE7BDQ was really strong here for awhile.  Unfortunately Windoz decided to update somewhere around 0730utc which put a dent in my overnite activity

A few strong decodes from XGP as well...

Looking at the solar activity last nite it is still too early to tell if the combined antennas helped or not.....

Currently I'm parked on 185.3 for awhile to see what shows up as the sun sets....
