[Lowfer] "WE" shut off for a bit...

Sat, 19 Oct 2002 19:51:53 -0500

Hello Jay

I am located in west central Wisconsin.  My grid is EN44HD.  My
transmitter is going to be a Lyle transmitter.  The antenna is going to
be a large loop. I have the transmitter done and am working on the
antenna which I will get up as soon as I am able.  Right now I am using
a HY Tower for receiving with a tuned circuit at the base.  I have only
heard the guys in WI and MN so far but things are coming along I still
am learning what is going on.  My radio is an icom 751A which isn't the
best but it works.

When? And, where are you located? Have you decided on an antenna type?
Inquiring minds want to know... Actually, board -  because there aren't
enough signals to look at - is more like it.  Looking forward to seeing
your
signal when you get up and running!
