[Lowfer] Medfer TX loop update

[Brian Helms]

I have changed the loops conductors from a single #14 wire to 3/4" =
copper pipe.  The top and two sides of the loop are made from the copper =
pipe while the bottom is connected to the matching netwok with multiple =
#14 wires.  Dex measured an approx. 10 db increase in signal stregnth at =
his house 6 miles away when I changed from the #14 single wire to the =
copper pipe.  It is on the air now using qrss60 and Dex is checking my =
frequency stability but I am not going to officialy announce it until I =
do some field stregnth measurements against Dex's beacon to determine =
whether it can be heard or not.  If everything goes well, I hope to have =
it on the air for listening attempts by the end of the week.  The =
frequency will be within a cycle or two of 510.5 so it can be compared =
to Dex's beacon if it can even be detected.
