[Lowfer] SIW 12-25-21

[Andy - KU4XR]

Merry Christmas all:

Started the night on 2200 meters and disappointed quite rapidly. Not only was propagation down,
the noise was atrocious. Every gizziegadget-thingamuhbob in the neighborhood was on last night.
Several receptions of WB5MMB in WSPR. 
Switched to 1750 meters for the overnight to log lowFER SIW. By early morning hours the QRN noise
finally subsided. The band sounded strong with the usual sounds I hear, but no decodes after a
couple of hours monitoring. Started to retire for the night, and glanced at the radio display...Hmmm
186.380 KHz - well that ain't right - ugh... changed to 183.680 KHz and WahLah - hello SIW.

73 to all and hope you have a wonderful day:
Andy, KU4XR
