[Lowfer] WM appears from the past

[Bill Ashlock]

Ahhhh! (a sigh of relief) I just took a look at the Grabulator and the "Wm"s once again looking good.

Peter and other Ghost Watchers, Funny thing about unattended operation is that when no signal is seen one gets a bit concerned about all possible negative reasons for the problem (power loss, fire, animal intrusion, disgruntled neighbors, etc :)   I noted that the noise level was quite high last night so that was probably why Wm didn't show up on the Grabulator. Then, too, I have little confidence that the signal has any real punch. Also, there's a DB-9 connector for power and control on the bottom of the enclosure of the final (hanging in space below the loop) that has no back shell and could have become disconnected with a little wind. SO, has anyone seen my "Wm"s lately??
