[Lowfer] WA and VD into London - morning hours

[Jay Rusgrove]

Due to dangling out in the air tuning components and a serious fog (everything
got soaked) I awoke to find my signal down by about 6 dB. Retuned and all is back
to normal as of 6:30 am.  Sorry for any inconvenience. Will be waterproofing the
new setup today. Switched from .45 to 1 watt as of late yesterday afternoon.
