Lowfer EAR continues to come in fine during daylight hours here. Hope to 
have lowfer SIW QRV again soon.

Greetings all:

lowFER SIW fought through the S9+35 dB roaring noise I am contending with at present. 
It sounds like an arcing powerline, but with all the noise possibilities out there today; 
maybe something else. The power company has searched their lines within a half mile
radius of my location and can't find anything.

Hi Andy,

Thanks for the report. I've been away in upstate NY but glad the beacon 
has continued to work. Sorry for your QRM issue. Something most people 
who listen on LF encounter. Hope yours resolves itself by the time good 
winter propagation returns.

I ended up setting up my antenna last weekend, so Lowfer JH is
transmitting. The antenna is a monopole 32 feet tall with three 8 foot top
hat wires run along the guy wires.

I am transmitting on 181.818 kHz qrss 60 "JH" with alternating "JH"
graphic. I will continue to improve the setup this week, but it is
currently tuned and running at full power.

My location is Conway, SC FM03mw

Lowfer TAG from Raymond, ME (FN43sv) is back on 185.302 kHz in QRSS60 until May. No changes from last year.

John, it's early in the season for LF DX but have seen traces of TAG at 
1471 km. Hope to do better in Nov and Dec.

Garry,

That's encouraging, thanks. The setup is unchanged from last year, 
though I did spend some time checking and cleaning up connections. 
Another month should make a difference on propagation. The 185.302 
frequency is pretty certain within about 10 mHz.

LowFER KE is now back up and operating. Using the same frequency and speed this year (181.820 QRSS60), except with a different antenna.?I'm currently using a 28 foot monopole vertical made from 4 foot aluminum military poles with 4, 3 foot top hat rods. I will add more poles in the future as it was maxing out my loading coil.As always I appreciate any signal report.Kasey EverhartKA4SEY(336) 239-4214

Welcome to the Snake Pit!

I'll get my loop setup this weekend and take a look.
