[Lowfer] Wm Beacon "Current" Question

[N8OOU]

Mitch;

Thanks for the support and the link to W1TAG, for the meter information. 
  I have been working today to come to a conclusion on this antenna 
current issue.  I have made several attempts to get a measurement on the 
flattop. I keep getting varying numbers, nothing at all, or a pegged 
full scale meter. Again I am trying to use junk box components with 
meters of other values and scales.  I may just have to order the 
specific components new to make this work.

I did have the beacon up and down today during the day. I also had it in 
various states of tune as I tried to get the readings. I'm not sure what 
time that you made this capture. It does not look quite normal. It is 
likely that I had my fingers in the "Helix Cabinet" when you did the snap.

Again, thanks for your help, and have a good weekend.
