[Lowfer] PBO back on the air

[Andy - KU4XR]

Hey Rick:  I'll give you some receiver time overnight and we'll see what
shows up.. I'll do captures, and I have my grabber running looking for you.

It refreshes every 5 minutes ( there-about ) .. Good luck with the new 
antenna setup..

Hi All,



PBO is back on the air 24/7 on 187.2 khz  ( or so )  running QRSS60. I have
changed antennas .I am no longer using a loop.

I am using a 40' vertical with a 10' top hat. The antenna capacitance is
190 pf . I built a 14"  air  wound loading coil with a 6" variometer  which
gives 2.6 to 4.6 mh .

I am not expecting much from this setup .I live on a mountain of clay and
shale .I have 20 radials out in lengths from 35 to 100 ' and 4 of them are
terminated in 

Ground rods. I am still measuring over 200 ohms of resistance with the
bridge at 187.2 khz . I will add more radials and ground wire throughout the
season. I just 

Want to see if I am condemned to use a loop
