[Lowfer] XGJ on 137.67 kHz

[K2ORS]

Dick et al.,
   I have bumped the power up by 6dB or so (now 228W out, QRSS30 ) while 
troubleshooting the antenna. The antenna seems to intermittently go between 
54 ohms and 77 ohms  (reactance remains low) leading me to suspect a bad 
connection on the loop side.

>> It's been so noisy of late here didn't even bother trying to copy SAQ.

>> 396 kHz, YPH, +405 Hz offset, 10.24 s interval; 338 kHz, YPX, 400,
>> 10.29; 230 kHz, YMU, 393, 10.29; and 208 kHz, YSK, 410, 10.22. E-W
>> wasn't terrible since both DF in NL and NY in BC were decent copy on 350
>> kHz. This morning after sunrise MP on 137.78 kHz and EAR on 188.83 kHz
