Re: LF: LF EbNaut tonite

[N1BUG <paul@n1bug.com>]

I'm sorry about the QRM Jay. It works both ways as some stations
have difficulty decoding the weaker WSPR stations when North
American stations are running EbNaut close by.

Judging by WSPR spots conditions were no better than fair. I did get
two very weak spots from DL0AO and a few weak to very weak ones from
UK stations. I decoded 2E0ILY several times but nothing spectacular
at all. The best was 12 dB down from a few days ago. There are worse
nights, but also much better ones!

Stefan and Markus (I assume) were both very visible on my grabbers
at times, with a lot of QSB. This despite the EbNaut 'spreading' or
whatever the proper term is. A steady carrier mode such as DFCW
should have produced some nice bright lines. :)

73,
Paul N1BUG
