[Lowfer] WSPR experiment

Hi all:

I going to run WSPR on 160 for awhile today ( on now ) just to
burn up a few electrons. Transmitting in the center of the WSPR
window, so receive should be at 1.836.600 MHz USB. Going to keep
it at 5 Watts. My antenna SWR is kinda high, 2.0:1 , because of 
my lowFER antenna being directly beneath the short leg of the
160 Windom 2 feet below it. That shifted my resonant point, so I
need to readjust the ends to bring it back down. It's been about
2 years since my HF antennas have had any RF run thru them.
WSPR transmit sequence is 50%.

Hi Jay:  If I had any way of doing that, it would be on there now.
I'll have to build a SSB exciter, and a Linear PA. I want to, but
can't get around to putting one together. Yet !! anyway ...
