Ok Guys , Im sending QRSS60 now. Ill see how the tx likes it .I had some
earlier chirp problems but have since built seperate supplys for the 5 and
24 vdc .Hope it worked.
I can not rotate the loop. Its 40' x 60' slung across the treetops.However;
the ends are pointing east/west. Andy, you should be about 45Deg. or so offf
the west end and if I remember correctly that should only be about a 3db.
difference.
73 and TNX
