Brian & All: Afternoon QRSS3 copy of WA1ZMS on 137.780

EN90xn to FM07jj QRZ info 168 degree heading, 223 miles.

On the SW EWE (240deg) antenna, best signal around -52.4 peak background 
noise occasionally -62.5 range...
light but solid audible carrier, would be tough to copy CW but perhaps 
possible

On my SE EWE (120 deg)  antenna, occasionally -50.1, more local noise, 
occasional audible carrier...

On my NE EWE (60 degrees), light trace copy, local qrm interval....

On my NW EWE (300 deg)  weak but identifiable trace...

On my e-probe in tree with some biomass and ground ~ house clutter 
attenuation to SE...

Without the tree and ground clutter attenuation, my best guess is the 
e-probe copy would be similar to NE or NW EWE view.

Typically K3RWR is several dB weaker on the e-probe vs EWE antenna for 
comparison purposes on WSPR2.

Thanks for the beaconing and antenna checks Brian...
