[Lowfer] TAG WOLFing

[JJ]

OK, I jumped on the bandwagon.  It's been a while since I did any Lowfer 
listening so it was good to fire things up.
I tried yesterday late afternoon using my Anan Angelia SDR and 300' or 
so vertical loop situated E/W.  Nada.  I did finally copy after 
nightfall.  I believe it was at t: 480.
Tried again this morning with the same setup, nada.
I fed my 200' Doublet fed with 300 ohm ladder directly to the Angelia 
and received TAG @ t. 288 but maybe a fragment at t. 192.
Thank you, John for proving the signal.  Good job.
73,
