[Lowfer] Hello, test...

[wa3tts at verizon.net]

 Hello Jay & All:  Still here, mostly hanging out on the WA2ZKD wspr list and snagging some 630m stations nightly and occassionally on 2200m wspr.
I tried looking for EAR quickly this afternoon with ARGO but its been a few years and I did not have the BFO offset correct. My Nano VNA told me I was
500hz off. I will try another day.   I noticed using my LF/MF EWEs on HF that adding a half dozen 43 snap on  beads  between the antenna transformer and coax choke
made a noticeable improvement on 20~30MHz wspr weak signal reception.  Too much distributed capacitance on the LF/MF/HF chokes it seems.
 Adding some ferrites before the antenna ground seemed to help my e-probe at upper HF too, but it got zapped in a t-storm a few weeks ago
and I have not had a chance to get the backup e-probe up and running...

 Maybe we should do a roll call and see who's left here ;-).
