[Lowfer] Great seeing MW on 185.3 again

[Bill Ashlock]

Dick,

Yes it's Wm, as I call it (IE: An abbreviation of William.....lower case "W" followed by an upper case "m"). If I don't properly reset that exciter it comes out in the reverse or Mw and a short power interruption sometimes reverses it. I plan to rewire one of the two digital counters in the circuit so that it gets reset after every full character word but ..... so far I haven't had the time to do this.

I'm headed out in a minute to attack the Andover Loop. I had to re-install this one last week because the #10 wire wore through where it passed over a limb and broke after less than a year. Can't remember if its Xmtr is higher or lower in freq than Wm. Hope it doesn't klober my under-line friend SIW :)

Bill
