[Lowfer] watering hole lowfers

[Garry]

Hi Gedas, John, et al,

No, I no longer have any ham gear active from the home QTH. Hope to 
change that by next spring when a downsizing move might take place. As 
mentioned I often copied TAG in the past during the prime LF months of 
Dec and Jan.  The path is 916 miles so not trivial. I've been searching 
for nearby kiwisdrs with good antennas to no avail. Even those reporting 
very large antennas are seldom as good on LF as N8GA with a simple eprobe.

Years ago TAG transmitted Wolf-10, a digital mode that might be even 
more sensitive than QRSS60. Receive isn't really hard (there's a nice 
GUI for it) but requires very good stability and accurate sound card 
sampling. Even more sensitive is the EbNaut mode. But that isn't a 
real--time mode (samples are collected in .wav files and then post 
processed). I sent that a few years ago on my  lowfer but hardly got any 
reports, same for Wolf, so for the moment it's abandoned.
