[Lowfer] A different approach

[Michael Sapp]

J.B. Yes I prefer to use WSPR-X as it seems to be a dB or 2 better in 
pulling the weak ones out of the noise....

Replaced one F connector on the RG-6QS here at the SW EWE antenna xfrmr last 
evening.  DC loop resistance through
the antenna transformer came down about half an ohm...

Likewise a few BNC (silver) center pins on filters and isolation transformer 
in the shack were cleaned with deoxit via hobby store
microbrushes....

Rewarded with several XGP decodes overnight, best at -25, it pays to keep 
all the RF connectors very clean....

73, Mike wa3tts
