[Lowfer] N8OOU 2200m Testing

[N8OOU]

Brian,

Yes, that's kinda what I thought, and why I set the Tx remotely in the 
first place. This is an easy change, and a configuration that I have had 
better luck with before. Just something to try before switching back to 
185Kc.

The best I can conclude from this test is that I don't have enough signal being radiated yet for anyone to hear at this time of year. I know for sure I have a signal on my property, and it can be decoded. How far that signal travels is the unknown Hi Hi.

In my past tests on 2200m, when I get the exciter too close to the antenna, the RF confuses the uP.  I hope that change increases the EIRP by removing any feedline loss. Later this week I will give up on 2200m, test 600m again, then get the lowfer back on the air.
