[Lowfer] Lowfer EAR

[Michael Sapp]

Garry & JB : I was out cutting the lawn, came in to cool off and setup on 
EAR, signals seemed way down, had to re-cal

Noticed a few static crashes on the ARGO level meter hitting red at 
first --- did not realize it was an approaching storm.  Notice how much 
better
EAR looks visually in the next capture...

It went from Sunny Day to Downpour in a matter of 20~30 minutes.....

EAR was around -57 when first detected, and recovered to -51 after the storm 
moved off.  Avg background about -68 with the storm out of the area, so best 
signal

on EAR about 17 dB above noise, several dB worse in the storm period....
