[Lowfer] Beacon " XR " back on with improved ant.

[Andy - KU4XR]

Greetings All:

I took my LOWfer ant. down today, and changed it from a basic " T " style tophat to a perimeter tophat. If the indications I'm seeing on my end are to be believed; I have made a noticable improvement in the system performance. Not just " needle widths " on my FS indicator, but S-Units on my receiver. The xmtr is absolutely happy, no heating whatsoever. The variometer went from 3.38uH to resonate down to 2.77uH. The System Capacitance went from 1.7uF with the " T " tophat, up to 34uF with the perimeter tophat. A couple more miles maybe ?? I hope. 73 everyone !!
