[Lowfer] 136 kHz WSPR-2

[Michael Sapp]

Garry & All:  I had several decodes of XXM last night on 137 kHz in the 
mid -20s SNR range. Unfortunately wspr-x made a few erroneous decodes in a 
row which booted me off the wspr dbase so the sunrise decodes did not get 
logged.  Unwelcome rf visitors made reception difficult overnight as shown 
below with an VE3OT capture from this morning....

The local noise sources seem to be abating in mid-day.

Issue seems to occur after a rain. Once whatever electrically-powered
nearby gremlins dry out, the noise seems to go away in a day or so.....


A few evenings ago I did get a piece of VO1NA in the early evening after 
sunset....before switching to wspr2 on 630m
