[Lowfer] Watering Hole Lowfers - end of year (SIW, WM, EAR)

[Michael Sapp]

Garry, Mike, JB & All:  I made two capture frames with closest peak signals 
I could find at QRSS60 normal of SIW and WM. I chose QRSS60 because the 
local radio reception conditions at LF are rather noisy today, perhaps 
several dB worse than yesterday.  I also have made most of my SIW captures 
at QRSS60, so it makes it easier to compare to prior captures. At QRSS30 it 
seemed that a local noise source was limiting reception somewhat.

So SIW and WM are close to parity at the time of capture.


As a further check on background noise, I made an EAR capture at QRSS30. 
EAR was about 18 dB over peak background noise, which I usually compare at 
QRSS30...

EAR was 22 to 24 dB above peak background noise yesterday.  A few weeks back 
EAR was just audible at 26 dB above peak background noise.
