[Lowfer] LowFER SIW

[listread at lwca.org]

Got the antenna back up on its base this week, and was trying yesterday to
catch the transition between WSPR and QRSS on SIW.  I could see the WSPR
signal, both on Argo and the WSPR-X waterfalls, but got no decodes.  At
noon CDT (1700 UTC) the WSPR went away, and the QRSS trace climbed up to
its normal frequency, just as expected.  But then about 40 minutes later,
there was a dip of 0.1 Hz, and signal strength seemed to vary for a while.
 During the evening, the frequency appeared to wander slightly, slowly,
before the signal was finally swamped by noise about 10 PM.

Much less noise this morning at sunrise, but the signal seemed to be in a
fade at the time too. When it appeared, there was another anomaly not long
after.

Am continuing to run the session to see what happens, in hopes of some
WSPR decodes in the next hour.
