Greetings,

Best (not saying much) snapshot from last night is on w3eee.com.

Another case of OK-ish propagation, hacked up by static.  Recognizable traces  of 
DFCW from both G3AQC Laurie and CT1DRP Brian.

Just as a bit of an experiment, I decided to add a 'spoiler' or reference trace, a la  
astronomical observations.  That's the line at the top, at 137.7751kHz ;  it's from a  
couple of inches of wire poked into the BNC on the back of a big lump of Hewlett  
Packard, some 150 feet from the antenna.  Notice how it's getting holes punched  in it 
from the static crashes.  I'm uncertain of the provenance of the big fat line at  about 
773.8, (posh for I don't know where it's coming from) but it, too, is obviously  being 
radiated and received, and likewise chopped up.  It is otherwise very  consistent and 
very stable  -  PLC maybe  -  but never shows any sign of  modulation.  The NE Canada 
Loran line at 774.03 looks a bit sad;  on a clean  night it's quite a few dB bigger.

And that's the Abominable Snowman on 772.9-ish.

        Cheers,

                Steve
