[Lowfer] " PBO" on the Air !

Thanks again Jay! Im guessing the frequency drift is temperature related. I
have the exciter in the same cabinet as the final; located outside. It
usually settles down once the temperature drops and stays cold. I do have
some spare cable so maybe Ill  just keep the exciter inside where it
belongs. The power supply is well regulated so I know its only a temperature
thing.Expecting 10 +  inches of snow here tonight and tomorrow so don't know
if Ill get to that. 

                            Thanks 
                                   Rick

Good copy whenever I looked in on PBO during the day today. Solid copy both
day and night now. 
Frequency has drifted down a bit. Capture from a few minutes ago at
http://www.w1vd.com/grabber.html 
.

About 2 inches of snow has fallen here since about 6 pm.
