[Lowfer] Lowfer KE

[Garry]

Last night around 0800Z lowfer JH was coming in quite well so I tuned 
for lowfer KE. Using QRSS60 to boost the sensitivity all I saw was the 
merest of hints of a signal around 187227.7 Hz. That's consistent with 
what the grabber at http://jwhamer.me/grabber/ was showing, but since JH 
is at 1145 km and KE is at 996 miles the former should have been 
stronger than what was observed. Looks like it has a way to go to reach 
its potential.

Incidentally, the grabber often shows KE strong, then dropping out 
before returning strong. This may be the result of a sensitivity setting 
in ARGO that's too low. It's currently just 31/100 whereas a value of 
50/100 is what I generally use. That does bring up background noise but 
handles QSB much better.
