'bout time you guys got some of that white stuff up there! Bin wondering 
when you talk about how your antennas are working, you can't get a read on 
this by just looking at the input current to the final. If the Q is down, 
due to the snow, rain, animals, or whatever, the input current should be 
down by about the same percentage as the antenna current. This assumes near 
100% efficiency in the final, which may be the reason why you don't track 
the input current.
