[Lowfer] BeFER (Low HiFER?) WI2XJP

[Warren K2ORS]

Hi John,
    Thanks for the capture!
Unfortunately lots of DX but not much of a local signal which is what I 
wanted. Dipole probably too high - nearly 1/2 wavelength above ground.

Will leave it on until Saturday evening, I will put out a note to the 
reflector prior to going QRT.
