[Lowfer] Tuesday Afternoon in the Field

[Garry Hess]

JD, thanks for the report on SIW. I've listened a few times the last 
couple of weeks and been surprised at the absence of signals. Since you 
didn't hear SIW outbound I figured there was something wrong with the 
feedline because the beacon has been working fine in the shack. I have a 
BNC bullet connecting the outside feedline to a short jumper running 
into the shack. Put the power meter on it and found intermittent output 
- the center pin receptacles must have worn into an open circuit 
condition. I'm using a replacement bullet now so hopefully things are 
working right again.
