[Lowfer] last night in TN

[rick kirby]

Thanks  for looking Doug! I need to retune this weekend. Something or
someone tore the antenna connection off of the coil sometime between your
capture time  and 8:00 this evening. I came down to the radio room to
discover the final current meter pegged to the stop post ! When I went out
to check  the final and I saw the antenna dangling outside of the doghouse.
I just twisted it back on for the night but couldn't retune.....too darn
cold out there. So I had to lower the voltage from the shack which isnt the
right way of course but the input power is legal. Im surprised I didn't do
any damage. The power supply regulator was too hot to touch!

Last night monitored the 185.3 watering hole. Good copy on SJ and SIW most
of the night. Got one readable ID on WMS. Could tell TAG was there, but not
enough for a full ID. Saw traces of what might have been MBD.

Had the other receiver monitoring for PBO, and had some success (see
attachment).
