[Lowfer] An extended visit at the Watering Hole Tonite

[N8OOU]

Garry, thanks for the capture, I have been adjusting the loop, but in 
this temporary location it is not very ideal. The bottom run is only 3 
Ft above ground, and it's very close to buildings and my other antennas.

I have worked on the frequency today, and it looks positioned in your 
capture about where I am measuring it here. I added a thermostat to my 
light bulb to better regulate the temperature around the exciter.   Am I 
now too close to SIW?   I can try to move it up a little if need be.
