[Lowfer] Lowfer transceiver by Dave Curry

[Mike-WE0H]

Running good Lowfer antennas & power will get you daytime coverage about 
150-200 miles with audible CW. I don't know about SSB or other modes. 
Night time of course will go further but how far?

The west coast guys talked about their SSB round tables they had 
scheduled out. Surely if enough Lowfer guys got moving on building SSB 
rigs or transverter's, that SSB could work out for at least regional QSO's.
