[Lowfer] WMS and XR

[Andy - KU4XR]

Garry:

I'm not totally sure my beacon was transmitting. I am having 
some type of issue with it just quitting for no apparent
reason, so I don't know if it was actually on during the night.
I had to turn it on twice last eveing, and once even had to 
reprogram the transmit sequence. Then I had to turn it on agn,
this morning. Strange stuff happening here. I'm going to set it
back to factory settings, then reprogram it and see if that fixes
the problem. I wonder if a PIC chip can take too many static
jolts and become " Memory Deranged " ?? hi - hi !!
