[Lowfer] BeFER (Low HiFER?) WI2XJP

Sat Aug 6 15:50:04 EDT 2016

The signal is audible here (FN15nt) on Saturday afternoon, 2016.8.6 
at 1945z.  Some deep QSB, on the up-peaks your CW ident is easily 
copyable but fades into noise a few seconds later.  Nothing showing 
on the S-meter.  Dipole antenna about 30' off the ground.
