[Lowfer] MP on 475 kHz - now QRSS6

[Mitch Powell]

Great captures John - it is interesting that you had audible copy. If I can
get some time on Friday I will be retiring the toroidal in the tuner,
hoping to get better matching and increase the current from the present
value of 5 amps. 0n 137 I had about 15 amps running through the loop.
Tchange to 475 has required quite a bit of "renovation".
Thanks
