Garry,

Similar prop from this side last night. There were signs of WM and SIW 
from 0300 to about 1200Z. WM has been stronger, with some really nice 
peaks. There were a number of faint but complete SIW ID's in there, too. 
No sign of XXP - 185.305 has a weak TV spur from next door, but there 
was nothing there during the TV-off period overnight.

Have failed to copy EAR during the daytime this winter... have done it 
in the past, though probably with a better antenna arrangement. Comes 
through fine in the evening hours, as expected, using the big loop.

Speaking of the big loop, my notes show that Bill Ashlock and I put it 
up 18 years ago this month. Wonder if it is the only one left that 
actually employed Bill's bow and arrow?

John, W1TAG
