Activated lowfer SIW today at EN51uq. Schedule is same as last year: 
M,W,F 185.185 kHz, wspr15, opera32, visual "siw", CW ID hourly; 
Tu,Th,Sa,Su 185.2993 kHz alternating "siw" between QRSS30 and QRSS60. 
Mode switch is around 1800Z each day.

The kiwisdr receivers available through the internet are generally a 
pretty sorry bunch, at least for LF. Nonethelss I decoded SIW this 
evening at 92 miles using the KD9KHZ receiver in Wisconsin. The 
Edinburgh, IN receiver is much more sensitive but hardly ever available.

I have recently copied and reported here lowfers WM and TAG around the 
185.3 kHz watering hole and EAR at 188.830 kHz using various nearby 
kiwisdr receivers. Still waiting to hear if/when KE, JH, and SJ are on 
the air.
