[Lowfer] WM in TN

[Bill Ashlock]

Well, not the operator, anyway. He was soundly asleep :)  I DID get to do some experimentation in the balmy 22F we reached this afternoon. Turns out the added adjustable ferrite core inductor that adds the needed 3% inductance to account for the placement of the loading at the mid-point of the vertical wire does not add to the Rac of the antenna... but something else does. If possible, tomorrow, I will return the loading coil to its lowest position and re-check the antenna current to see if it returns to the .3A (+) I was seeing last week.
