[Lowfer] Wonderful Night - SJ, TAG, & WM

[John Andrews]

Gedas,

Distance from you to SJ in Connecticut is 647 miles. Distance to TAG in 
Maine is 786 miles.

That 1 hour before sunrise thing does work best for most of us.

Just to make you feel bad, my best DX for receiving a Lowfer here in 
Massachusetts was Bill Cantrell's TX beacon in March, 2001. He was 
running in the WOLF mode, which should be similar in weak-signal 
handling to QRSS60, but with more throughput. I received his "TEXAS 
AGGIE 79" message between 0800 and 0830 UTC, a few hours before my 
sunrise. Distance was 1532 miles. That was after days of processing 
overnight recordings of Bill, playing with adjusting parameters that we 
didn't have nailed down. Seemed like magic at the time.

John, W1TAG
