[Lowfer] BZS with record high antenna current!!

[Steven Brooks]

Hey Lowfers and Loopers,

Point your receiving antennas toward Avondale, AZ, BZS has record
antenna current at 185ma!  I fixed/modified and just put into service
my Nautel NX400TUB Automatic Antenna Tuner on the BZS beacon.  It
replaced a hand wound coil I had made from Home Depot wire and a 12"
building form.  What a jump, I was able to raise my antenna current by
another 20ma out, just by being able to fine tune it.
With antenna modifications, an improved ground plane, and an auto
antenna tuner, I just might be able to get some reception reports this
season.
Currently BZS is transmitting 5 second dots and 15 second dashes, and
my output carrier is 187.302Khz.
