[Lowfer] WG2XCT testing transmitter CW at 475.3 KHz

[Pat Bunn]

I will be testing my transmitter tonight using 8 wpm CW for several hours tonight. Presently running about 250 watts output. Efficiency is very good at about 95% so it is working well so far. Gate and Drain waveforms look good, much better than before. Tested it at 600 watts into a dummy load but will leave it throttled back tonight. 

Reports are appreciated.

If you unsuccessfully look for a signal for even 30 minutes, you may be surprised to find it there later in the hour. Dex's copy went from virtually nothing to pretty good in an hour's space.
