[Lowfer] WM daytime report

[N8OOU]

Andy;

Thanks for your detailed reporting today on WM. Yes, I think all your 
messages today made it through the list. I called up the dropbox folder 
a couple times to see if any additional captures would be uploaded.

It is interesting to me to see how WM fades in/out independent of SIW. I 
have seen that in other captures. That's a component of propagation I 
don't understand.

As to the WM updates for this season, I am beginning to think I have 
made some improvement. Because of so any problems getting to this point, 
I am still skeptical. I of course, hope the signal stays strong through 
the winter and the past couple days are just the beginning of a 
successful Lowfer season.

Thanks for listening.
