[Lowfer] WD2XGJ and others

[Warren Ziegler]

Tnx Garry for the reports on WD2XGJ and WE2XGR/1 !
WD2XGJ has a measured erp of 4 watts.
WE2XGR/1 - don't know but would make an educated guess at 5 watts.
Keep in mind that WD2XGJ is QRSS60 and WE2XGR/1 is regular cw - that
should account for 20-25dB difference right there!
