[Lowfer] MP & TAG 185.3

[John Andrews]

Peter,

Thanks for the report! Sadly, there was a time when being down on 
185.297 was a defense against all of those other stations on both sides 
of 185.300. Not so crowded these days...

> Been monitoring 185.300. That's mostly due to a break in the ice - err - weather that clobbered the vertical. The downlead got reattached. It broke at a solder joint due to whipping about. Also rolled out about half the radials. That should have been done in October, but... .
> Nice to have a repaired and functioning R8 rx, though start-up dirft is more pronounced now, about 1 cycle the first hour as seen on Argo. That works out to about a +20 deg slope across one 30-sec screen. But it's working.
> EAR and MP are the mainstays here. This evening I observed that I had been delimiting the 185.300 30-sec screen for TAG. Properly adjusted, TAG started weakly dragging through after 5pm. As of 8pm it's identifiable in sketchy form.
