[Lowfer] XCT in EN90xn

I was running about 30 MW to my vertical which is hopefully about 4% or so efficient so I loaded zero dBm.

I added a small amp after getting no decodes and forgot to change the setup. I actually was running about 2 watts to the variometer so the erp is about 80 MW if I am lucky. I chances the setup to 20 dBm which is probably optimistic.
