[Lowfer] WMS and XDW

[Paul Daulton]

Thanks for the report. WMS may not be at full power. Problems with current 
meter. I will replace and try to get it up to full strength this week. Have 
summer cold or alergies! Repaired broken wire on loading coil monday. Back 
in Ralph's grabber daytime now. I am amazed at the daylight propagation, it 
will be interesting to see how it holds up during summer months.

There is a beacon listed just outside the 160 to 190 band , operated by 
ve3ohh at 190.451. Has anyone copied this, I havent seen any reports. Should 
be able to get this one by multiple argo screens when copying WEB.

Thanks again Garry.
