WG2XJM QRV at 137.781 (approx. 1.2 Hz from "MP"), QRSS30.  Estimated 
150mW ERP.

First attempt at transmission on 2200M.  Finished base loading coil this 
afternoon, #14 THHN on a 5-gal bucket, about 1600 uH.  Secondary 3.5 in 
bugcatcher coil used for fine tuning.  SWR around 1.18:1, efficiency 
estimated around 0.15%.

Reports and captures appreciated.  May switch to JT9-2, 136.0 kHz dial 
later this evening.
