WMS is on , I just checked. We have about 6 inches of snow since 
yesterday. Near field signal strength up to par maybe just a little bit 
higher. Antenna current up to snuff but final current down since last 
repair job. Need to drag tx in to shop and reset tap on loading coil. I 
had gall bladder surgery last month and bad wx has prevented me from 
correcting. May be problem with meter rather than coil if ant current 
is where it is supposed to be. 

Dont see my signal on Ralphs grabber often, probably due to desense on 
his end. Last week UWL and I were in Ralphs grabber about 10 pm on a 
couple of nights.
