Hello Lowfers, I've been out to the "doghouse" to remove the ice/snow accumulation and have tweaked the variometer to put beacon EAR back to normal power level. Final current, antenna current, and FS are now back to baseline readings, so some reports from afield would be appreciated. 73, J.B., VE3EAR LowFER Beacon "EAR" 188.830 kHz. QRSS30
