[Lowfer] Return of loop testing at 185.3

[Larry Putman]

Bill,

Here are captures from 10pm to 7am.
Mixed results and I don't know how to interpret it.
My confidence in my antenna being 100A% is low
and it snowed again last night. Although with NC back
on the air NC gives me some reference.

I hope Lloyd got some captures that we can compare?


73

Larry
