[Lowfer] An extended visit at the Watering Hole Tonite

[N8OOU]

Andy, thank you for the capture which shows the Wm beacon. My weak 
signal should confirm you are on the right track on your receive 
setup...  I think I have an explanation of the low frequency.

I have the exciter located in an un-heated building. The temp here hit a 
low of 15 F last night.   After seeing Gary's capture yesterday, I 
wanted to drop the frequency about .5-.7. After I made that change I 
forgot to put the cardboard box back over it, and the small lamp I was 
using as a heater. I corrected that this morning, and I am now seeing 
the frequency go back up.

So for all of the group watching and reading, last night was an oops, 
and hopefully I will get the beacon settled in to 185.300.5 - 300.7.
