Mike - TTS;  Thanks for watching Wm. On your three captures, am I seeing 
Wm fade in and out in a pattern different than SIW?   If I am, is there 
a flaw in thinking that the two should be in some sync because of our 
close proximity.  Have you noticed that before with other stations?

I revised the inline RF Ammeter circuit yesterday. The meter/circuit I 
have been using has all ways had a low reading. I switched to a higher 
current meter, and used different components on the rectifier board. 
The new meter now reads a number closer to what one would expect.  What 
was not expected, when I removed the old meter I had a significant drop 
in current to the P.A. (I had no current change with either just old 
meter or both inline) After boosting the P.A. back to 1 watt I have a 
VooDoo Magic number of 90 on the new meter as compared to 15 on the old 
meter.

Along with that change, night before last we received a light cover of 
snow here. There is still some left on the ground this morning.

OK, so was my old meter flawed and restricting my signal, or did the 
snow improve coverage, or both, or.....
