[Lowfer] More MP

[Mitch Powell]

Thanks for details John. Nice to get the reports and nice to now all is
radiating.  My Hifer is still operating - but getting no reports - so
better check for rabbit and squirrels chomping on the coax. Keying okay and
no changes in frequency.
It would be interesting to watch over a 24 hour cycle - everything quite
stable here.

Still remember copying Bill ( WM ) over the entire 12 month period when he
was doing initial "Ashlock" loop experiments with the 1 watt.
