[Lowfer] Loop's Back on Mount

If you're interested in an east coast 600M target...XGR/2 is on 506.5 kHz 
many evenings between 0100 and 0300Z running a cw ID every 15 seconds. The 
signal should be easily visible at your location if QRN isn't too bad.

http://www.lowfer.us/grabber.htm will show the signal as received in OH...if 
Fred's receiving setup is adjusted for the appropriate frequency range.

All,
Re: Restoration of Damaged Rx Loop

The rx loop I made and had up for a mere few days then the big wind took it 
down is rebuilt, rewound and back on its mount.

Took a hint offered here and notched the end pieces of the spreaders. Yes, 
much easier to wind horizontal. After winding a bead of silcone gave added 
holding power that might be needed in wind.

It's ready for 600M now, taking less than 100pF to tune on spot.

Tonight's not very quiet and expecting weather to move in w/ rain. Hope Mike 
makes use of his big vertical for testing. I'll wait for his call and op 
mode.

Peter, N ILL
