LF: Summer WSPR tests

[Paul-Henrik <phl@netikka.fi>]

LF, Hello

Inspired by some friends I gave WSPR monitoring on 502.40kHz (dial) a go. I
thought this was a good way to defeat the "MF low season" up here in KP03 where
there is no real darkness atm.

To my surprise my setup logged quite a few spots of two UK stations between 22
and 02 UTC. Here are a few snips from the WSPR database (last - G4JNT appears -
first):
