[Lowfer] HELP !!! my beacon is killing my receive !!

[Mike WE0H]

Easy solution, turn it off...hi hi...I get clobbered here from my 600m 
antenna so I don't bother listening unless it is off. A RX loop might 
work but that is a lot of signal to ignore with a sensitive receive 
setup right next to it.
