77 watts dc input Mike.  And the antenna current / DC drain current change
during the day and night as the temperature changes.
I should have been keeping a record.... I think I will do that from now on
and it will be interesting to see the relationship between them.

Right now at 28F the DC current is 7 Amps, with an 11 volt supply.
I'll check it agn in the morning and keep track during the day as the
temperature moves around.
