[Lowfer] Frequency correction

Lewis,

Great! I'll move up to my freq allocation tonight about midnight. Should be 
able to use my not-so-accurate freq counter to show me when I have increased 
the freq by .5Hz. I'll need some assistance from the 'lookers' to tell me 
how close I am.

>But isn't their someone on 184.29??.

You mean 185.29?? right? Yah, there's some other .299ers..... but they don't 
count!<G> No, seriously, I think you will be out of their hair if you are at 
185.2997. Mike, the Inn Keeper, is pretty flexible because he has a trimmer 
on his xtal osc. (His LW-max takes him all over the band, anyway).

>I calibrated ARGO to WWV on 60 Hz.

Not a problem. Wait till this segment of the band really gets jumping as the 
'hot season' is upon us and more discover how easy it is to sling a loop 
wire over the highest tree and get out a thousand miles!
(Never a failed oportunity to promote loop antennas! <G>)
