My overnight results were disappointing, in that I didn't get a single
positive ID from KE,JH,SJ, or XXP. Sorry JB, I ran out of darkness to
try high band EAR. I did see weak straight lines in the proper places at
times, but either the signals were extra weak last night, or my noise
level was equal or greater than wanted signals.
I have not done a lot of LF monitoring this fall, so I don't know if
propagation was poor, or bugs have creeped into my antenna system. I
did see new types of QRN in the waterfall screen of the SDR. One of my
favorite old sayings is "Without fickle human intervention, a rock can
only go downhill.". I guess that applies to receiving systems too.
I was happy to see the WM Beacon wipe out the waterfall when I restarted
it a few minutes ago.
