[Lowfer] SL beacon

[Scott Tilley]

  Hi Gary

Thanks for the reports!  You should consider setting up a grabber as you 
are in a prime spot and have good ears!

TIL delayed startup last night due to tuner changes that required 
commissioning tests.  I started my first sequence at 400W then raised 
the power to 1.1KW (STUN mode) at about 0715UTC where it stayed until 
after sunrise this morning.

No heating issues on the caps at that level and the matching transformer 
only warmed about 15C over ambient.

Today, I'll do some further changes to the tuner and prepare tests in 
the MOALFA's 'KILL' mode.
