[Lowfer] SIW in EN90xn + WM??

[N8OOU]

Thanks Mike for the added screen shots. As much as I would like to leave 
the beacon up tonight, I am finding the spurs are fairly strong locally. 
  so it is going back down for the night.  The loss of the signal last 
month was due to a component failure in the LP filter. I must still have 
something out of tolerance.

I had no idea before putting this beacon up, how extensive the LF ground 
coverage is, with such low power. It's amazing to me that you and Ben, 
and others have seen the Wm signal in the daytime.

Thanks again.  Mike - OOU
