[Lowfer] test

I don't see any trouble with mounting them that close. I think you will have
good luck with the elevated LF antenna. Lyle's antenna is on top of a steel
agri-building and it works awesome. Your ground losses will be lower with
the elevated ground plane. I would talk to TAG and Bill to figure out a
timing issue thing for your beacon.

Still working on it.  You can see its little brother (medfer antenna) I
just completed here:  http://www.nutstreet.net/radio/projects/medfer/
(The 9v battery you see has since been replaced with something more
lasting, and solar power is in the works)
I intend to mount the lowfer antenna on the same building.  They would be
about 4-5 feet apart.  Is there any problem with that?

Also, I'd like to find a circuit that can toggle an output so I can run
one mode for 0-29 minutes after the hour, and then another mode 30-59.
Do you know of any circuits that can do this?  I could just use a 555, but
I think the best I could do with that is toggle every 30 minutes, but not
necessarily ON the hour and ON the half hour.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Eric
