[Lowfer] Whirl Wide WEB

[WE0H.Mike]

Good deal. I will bug you when I return home next weekend.

That WEB reception looked very audible. That station must have a very 
efficient antenna system. You guys could have had a two way CW chat. 
This might be a good winter season to get on 1750m rather than 600m. I 
have to put up some of that #8 wire from my previous 1750m TX loop. I'm 
good for another 5 years on that band.

Is there a schematic online of that preamp you are currently using? 
Sounds interesting.
