I just checked my MedFER antenna current and read about 37mA which is 
probably about all we can expect.  I switched to QRSS30.  Can't give you 
the exact frequency, though -- the nearest I was able to do was zero beat 
my radio and it looks real close to 1704 -- sorry I can't do better right 
now.  Hope you can find it.  Clearly it could be a little either side of 
1704.

I'll leave it this way for a few days if you'd like to give it a shot -- 
and good luck!

My HiFER is back on, too, and alternating between QRSS3 and 8wpm CW.  The 
MedFER is *not* alternating -- QRSS30 full time and IDing "UWL".

ps  LowFER still on, too.  It will be coming down in about a week, though, 
as my new XFX flattop starts taking shape.
