As I got up the dial farther, the signals were fading out as it was well
after LSR, but still a pretty decent morning. I wish I would have gotten
up a half hour or so earlier, but still a very good showing. 
Hardly any TPs, except JOAK 594, but buried by 3WV. One of the best DU
mornings for sometime.
   Signals were much better on the SW EWE than the WNW EWE. I could tell
easily, that the signals on the SW EWE were double in signal. I always
wondered about the two antennas over lapping, but the two antennas do
have separate patterns.  Maybe replacing the matching transformer boxes
and getting rid of the pigtails tightened up the patterns cutting the
stray signals too.
