[Lowfer] lowfers in TN

[Andy - KU4XR]

Greetings and HNY to all:

Local forecast was calling for 20% chance of snow flurries and we ended up with a little over
2 inches of snow on the ground. I figured I'd take advantage of natures ground plane.
Other than WM blazing in here, I was disappointed with overnight results. The horribly poor
propagation this season, and 12dB +/- increase in never ending noise level, has yielded very
little receptions. 

Received 1 WSPR15 sequence from SIW, nothing from the OP32 transmission, or the SIW Graphic.

1200  -35   0.1    0.185185    0   K3SIW         EN51      0

The below link shows the only time WM, TAG, and SJ were on the screen at the same time.
The best I have gotten this season from TAG is random weak traces. SJ drifted up and out of
the screen. No sign of XXP , and with this seasons trend, not expecting any.

On a sidebar note; the increased noise level and poor propagation have been very evident
for me on 630 meters this season. My last operation was in early 2019. This season, I finally
added an 10 MHz OCXO to the Transverter, and a different antenna setup. I can run long modes
now, and the PA barely gets warm. No TA coming in, or going out. No VK receptions in any mode,
and West Coast U.S. and Canada, has been sparse as well.

73 to all, and Best wishes:
Andy, KU4XR Friendsville, TN.
