[Lowfer] WA schedule

I thought Mitch might be on the WA station payroll. Maybe John and I should chip
in with a few $$$ to help cover your costs. Your going to need all the cash you
can get for the 8XLitz and 16XLitz for that 50' X 450' loop you have planned for
136 kHz!

Maybe you could send me a short length of that RG8 or I could send you some of
my RG-11 for visual comparison. There must be something different between the
two.
