[Lowfer] TH

[Michael Sapp]

Dex, Carl & All: Sorry for not making all the lowfer rounds on a regular 
basis.... it took a few hours for LF to settle in on the path to TH, much 
like waiting for the Grand Old Opry to be Q5 on WSM 650 kHz in the evenings 
here in PA....

Not sure if the QRM in the captures is audio from Iceland LF BC station or 
the neighbor's LED whirly LED xmas tree lights.....

Good solid signal from TH when the iono swiss cheese reflector sets up the 
path and take off angles....
