[Lowfer] WM Lowfer - relocated antenna

[N8OOU]

Mitch, The frequency is set for 185300.5Kc and shifts to 300.9. I just 
turned on my receiver and it is showing a tenth higher, which I think 
will drop after it is on a while.

The RF meter constructed by Bill shows close to a 1 A loop current with 
the 1 W input power. I believe that is in the ballpark from what he 
documented. The big question I think, is the propagation in place to 
allow the signal to travel any distance. The loop is positioned on the 
west edge of my bean field, so it has nothing but farm fields in the 
path to the East.

Good Luck, and thanks for listening.
