No thanks,
   You all can keep that snow and ice, I came down here from KY. on the
Indiana line in the 50's and fell in love with the weather. today forecast,
tornado watch, wind blowing 20 mph with gust , temp mid 80's. Thunderstorms
very poor for LOWFERING.
Question. I increased my 100 ' loop to 150' and the Q went crazy, now I have
loran on 185.3, I think I have passed the max for receiving Loop. any
comments ? oh it is RG_59, using the braid and center Ted together. the
bottom is about 6' from ground, SQ.
I fired up LP today as I couldn't listen. the vertical loaded up fine, of
course it is in the open.
