[Lowfer] SIW trying to make it into EN90xn

[Michael Sapp]

Garry: It could be better, my EWE is pointed around 220~230 degrees SW and 
the front lobe is 3dB down at the 70 to 80 degree off center points---which 
you are around 280~290.  It's quieter than usual here this evening. I tried 
lifting the termination on the NE transformer to go into an omni mode, but 
the noise comes up noticeably....I'll let it run a few more hours on 
185.3....

Mike
