[Lowfer] SJ 185.305

[John Hamer]

Garry,

I am running JH on 181.818KHz still, but my antenna is a 50 foot loop so it
is a little more of a challenge to receive this year. I currently have
appx. 3.6 amps through my loop. I have been talking with Mike (WM) and he
has offered some suggestions on how to improve this, but I have yet to make
any changes. Hopefully as conditions get better and I get time to work on
the transmitter, receptions will improve. I appreciate you taking a look. I
plan on continuing this loop experiment all winter.

I am slowly working on a new monopole for next season and possibly the end
of this season. The new monopole will be similar to my original lowfer
antenna using steel conduit welded together. I am going to try and make it
easier to cut grass around so I can leave it running all year. I plan on
running the monopole station a few Hz lower so I can run both of them at
the same time along with KE.

W4DEX has received my signal with the graphic appx 100 miles away. Mike
(WM) has received what appears to be traces, but not a full confirmed
capture. I believe KE also received it appx 100 miles away also earlier in
the winter.

I usually have my grabber monitoring my transmitter at the link below.
