Hi Jay and JD....thanks for the reports on EAR. We have a wild night here, with very strong westerly winds, so the antenna may be flopping around a bit. The snowfall we had for most of the day seems to have stopped, as I can see the lights in town, about a mile away. 73, J.B., VE3EAR LowFER Beacon "EAR" 188.830 kHz. QRSS30 EN93dr
