At the time is was heavy rain and wind here and I was getting around 1dB variation is the "erp" as it blew and changed the tuning a wee bit. Mikes seen traces of XDW before but this has been the best so far. Mikes grab at http://myweb.cableone.net/flow/zlxdw.jpg Mike rx set up is an Icom ICR75 and the antenna is an inverted L, 19 metres vertical section, 15 metres horizontal section, 3mH elevated loading at the corner of the L and the rest of the L at the base. XDW has been coming into Brians CT1DRP's grabber for the past 4 nights but sigs have been pretty weak but visible around 0200-3Z. Saturday was, I think, the best since we started prop testing from here. Thanks again for the reports and grabs - Laurence KL1X/5 em26aq FCC OET Part 5 station wd2xdw http://myweb.cableone.net/flow _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!
