[Lowfer] XND overnight

[Michael Sapp]

Mark: Same here at the moment, light traces but no decodes.....prior 
experience last winter I would get some decodes between 1600UTC and 
1830~1900 UTC then fade and not return until 0000~0030 UTC. But it never 
hurts to check the current geomag field info as sudden LF enhancement can 
occur with solar or other cosmic activity...
