[Lowfer] Re: Attenuator & antenna

[J. B. Weazle McCreath]

Hi Warren, Lowfers,

I don't know if I can do the mod to the 440.  My eyesight isn't all
that good for the fine work required, plus my hands aren't steady
like they where in my younger days!  Getting old sucks, but I've
yet to find a way to avoid it aside from the only known method!

As to the antenna, here's a few more details of it.  The plane of
the loop is north-south, the apex is up, and the bottom is about
eight feet above ground.  In addition to that, the plane is also on
an angle of 45 degrees, the apex being tipped to the east, which
was dictated by the tower height and location of my house with
respect to the tower.  Perhaps someone could model it for me
and come up with a pattern for it.  It's transformer coupled to
the RG-6 feedline and I'm using a home-brew preamp.
