[Lowfer] Beacon reception reports ( Garry )

[Andy - KU4XR]

Hi Garry, and fellow LOWfers;

Thanks for your continued reports Garry, especially as the static
levels begin to build. We have a cold front coming thru tonite, and
the wind is beginning to get pretty gusty. I kringe when I hear that,
One leg of my 160 meter windom is down, and I haven't been able to 
get it back up yet. The HF ant. isn't really a problem, but when the
LOWfer ant. gets messed up; it's a job to repair it with all the wires
involved.  73, and good LOWfer-ing :::
