[Lowfer] WE2XGR/1 506.3 WSPR (504.8 dial) WD2XGJ QRSS 136.745

[K2ORS]

John,
   Thanks for the report!
Sorry that I pulled the plug on XGJ just after you set up in the field!
I plan a lot more operation of XGJ though, and just maybe if I get time to 
work on the damaged antenna I can get back to high power, still running 
<200W at the moment.
