[Lowfer] Watering hole lowfers

[jrusgrove at comcast.net]

Gedas

As others have pointed out, December and January are generally the best for DX 
lowfer reception. In 'days of old' it was not uncommon to routinely receive LEK 
in MN and WEB in TX here in the northeast. LEK in MN would routinely receive 
the east coast stations with good signal levels.

Speaking of 'days of old' 
here's what the watering hole looked like almost 20 years ago now. W3EEE ran the 'premier' grabber 'back 
in the day'.

Hi John. I would be very impressed if I copied TAG that well here. That 
is some wonderful DX between you two.

I will keep at it and see if & when conditions pick up. I can get traces 
of you currently pretty much all the time but am waiting for better 
conditions (and better antenna). 73
