Despite my stated intention not to let anything distract me during LOWDOWN
deadline week, after reading Mark's post I went out to set up and watch
for J(AM) again tonight myself.
I'll just go ahead and blame Mark for my lapse of will power, for purposes
of covering up the truth...which is: When I went back and rummaged through
February's captures, I was embarrassed to find I'd looked in the wrong
spot for JAM during last month's all-night attempt. Argo was tuned to the
spot that matches the memory preset I made for JAM on my Kenwood
receivers...but I've been using the ICOM all this winter, so I was 10 Hz
off. A miss like that is as good as a mile at QRSS60! That motivated me
to go try again.
There's some indication that I may have already seen pieces of a J as
early as an hour after sunset here in Kansas. If that's really it,
however, it has drifted up to about .016 this time.
I'm heading back to the field shortly to watch for more. It's going to
remain above freezing tonight, thankfully, but I hope I won't have to make
it an all-nighter because I need to get busy again first thing in the
morning. Will post results later if there are any.
John
