[Lowfer] Lowfer JH

[John Hamer]

I added 10 40foot ground plane wires this weekend, which after re-tuning
for resonance, increased the current to the final by 12ma. Before the
ground plane wires, I only had a ground rod at the base of the antenna.
This unfortunately puts me in-between two taps for impedance matching. I
chose the closest resistance, which was a little higher than 50, which put
the output to the final at .75W with a fully charged battery.
