Jay,
That is the QRM from your wahoo looper beacon resetting the power grid. Hi
Hi. Maybe solar power and batteries would help or a big UPS.

Congrats on the August capture. Looks like you've got all 12 months
covered!

Lately the power has been going off and on here about 4 times a day -
that even with no storms anywhere nearby. Yesterday we had thunderstorms
come through and knock the power off two different times for several
hours plus multiple "dips". I can understand storm related outages. When
the power dips everything has to be reset so relying on the power
company to keep the beacon running is an obvious mistake - even in good
weather. I feel like I'm living in a third world banana republic with
their less than dependable ac mains!
