[Lowfer] MP this afternoon

[Michael Sapp]

Mitch & All:  Continued my spring cleaning and found some oxidation on the 
NE EWE transformer connections ---including one steel nut vs stainless. 
Replaced, cleaned and
treated with silicon oil...

A few db better with QRSS30 slow vs last check was QRSS normal.  Sorry no 
cal check, the FT-817 was off for a few days so I just let it run a few 
hours on the MP frequency

until the receiver flat-lined....

Tnx for the beaconing....73, Mike wa3tts
