[Lowfer] WH2XND 136 kHz wspr-2

[Michael Sapp]

Garry & All: Yes, the absorption seems very low at LF this afternoon. A 
local 120Hz harmonic noise source took out several  XND decodes last 20 
minutes or so, but XND continues to be decoded when in the clear,,,1916 utc 
decode at -24 in dropbox link below.

Also I took a few of my Zenith Navigator radios (790, 780, 790 
Supernavigator ) outdoors with my passive loop and all the regional NDB are 
above average signal strength, some I would estimate by 10dB or so above 
average out about 400 miles....I should try a watering hole capture but I 
want to see how long XND will hang in here....

I have not done the sealing current maintenance in a few days, so I will 
give that a go to zap whatever oxidation is present on the

F connectors and see whether or not  this LF enhancement continues...
