Mother nature has taken her toll on the helix house over the past 10 years. I will have EAR off the air for a few hours this afternoon while I replace the old housing with a new one. I'll clear all of the spider webs from the load- coil/variometer while I have it all apart. 73, J.B., VE3EAR LowFER Beacon "EAR" 188.830 kHz. QRSS30 EN93dr
