[Lowfer] SIW, WM EAR mid day...

[N8OOU]

Mike,

Thanks for the capture and report of SIW and WM. It was a nice day 
today, mild temp but sunny.  I did a walk around inspection of the Helix 
Can / Antenna just after lunch today. The power feed to the transmitter 
was normal.  All seemed ok, and your report confirms a signal is going out.

Thanks for listening, your receive configuration looks to be working fine.
