[Lowfer] WA report

Larry,

Understand the conflict - lot of desire to get a 'feel' for the 137k band. I 
think Mitch beat me to the punch on this by only an hour or so. I was way 
late in getting this running but wanted to be sure all the loose variables 
where eliminated before officially going on line.

I'm sending a repeating four interval pattern: space, loop 1, space, loop 2, 
etc. Each interval has the same amount of time, currently 30 sec, but this 
time can be changed in a few seconds if you desire. No WA or slant is being 
sent but I'm close to 185.300.

What is the directional orientation?

East/West, but plan to rotate the test loop toward you as soon as the signal 
level comparison test is complete. The big loop will remain E/W, but the 
relative signal strengths will still indicate the improvement.

Snow arriving here shortly but shouldn't effect the loop currents to any 
degree. BTW, "snow on ground and more falling" is GOOD!

Thanks a lot for the help Larry!

Bill
