[Lowfer] Medfer SIW

[Michael Sapp]

Garry: Yeah I meant to say Hifer---I also caught PBJ, SZX, GNK, & MTI on cw, 
one FSK station I have not ID's yet...My MJF-1793 80/40M vertical is up 
about 13ft at the base in GP mode. It has a 20M add-on monopole at the base, 
so the antenna tends to be higher angle above 7 MHz with the monopole 
coupling, surprised how strong your signal was....I'll go edit that vid 
title & comments.....and perhaps look around the 1700kHz Medfer window this 
evening.....
