[Lowfer] 2200m Trans-Atlantic QSO dream...

[N1BUG]

Good luck with the build Mark! I managed to get the antenna up just
prior to onset of winter and have been building gear like a madman
ever since! I hope to work you on 2200m one day.

By the way folks, the 2200m QSO stations list has been updated
again. Activity is slowly growing!
