Hey Garry:

I had to turn " XR " off due to severe Ant. mismatch. It just
wouldn't stay on the air at all with most of the RF in the
shack instead of at the top of the ant. Expecting beautiful WX.
over the weekend, so I hope to get the ant. back up. Thanks so
much for looking and 73 to you and yours:

LOWfer Beacon " XR " @ 184.322 KHz ( QRSS-60 )
