Mike ZL4OL nr Dunedin, South Island ZL RE54GG captured wd2xdw between
0800-0900Z Tuesday - this morning, 03-04 CST, or if my calcs are right thats
21-22 DST in New Zealand, so just after ZL sunset path - the distance is
(appx) 13,067Kms on a bearing of 231.8T from here which is in the main lobe
of the loop in Oklahoma.
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.

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 -
