Good evening Lloyd:

Thanks for the report on 160 WSPR. I had it running at 50 watts tonite
but still didn't get across the pond,nor did I get any decodes on my
end either.
I appreciate your looking for the lowFER WSPR beacon. I really have no 
idea how much power I'm getting into the ionesphere. The antenna is
drawing 120 MilliAmps of RF current, and WSPR is not a good weak signal
mode down here, but trying it anyway..
73 for now :::
