[Lowfer] New beacon "IO" in MD on 185.3001 KHz

Welcome aboard! How's that blizzard doing?

Okay on the LF-90 and 20' vertical. I see that the transmitter can be adjusted in 10 Hz steps which 
is why you probably selected 185.3001. Unfortunately Bill is scribbling WMs in that frequency range 
which will make reception difficult. If possible I'd suggest sliding up or down from that frequency 
(perhaps you can tweak the synthesizer crystal?) to a clear spot. I've attached an Argo of what the 
band looks like here in New England.

Are you reasonably confident your frequency is as listed? With new beacons in the past we've 
occasionally had to send out 'search parties' to find the beacon -  some were significantly 
different than the advertised frequency and off the usual Argo screen.

Thanks for putting another Lowfer station on the air. I'm looking forward to receiving it!
