[Lowfer] EAR antenna new life

[Cliff Sojourner]

hi, I'm working to put SS Red Oak Victory K6YVM on the air for this 
event - 24h on November 3rd - ARRL says run FST4-60 (not FST4W and Steve 
it's not WSPR).  ARRL says be sure to notify the stupid UTC about 630m 
TX so they can protect their delicate PLC junk.  err, never mind that.

We think the ship's 1944 MacKay console output might exceed the 5w EIRP 
if we ran on CW, so next Tuesday I'm trying my Monitor Sensors 50w 
transverter on the ship's long wire antenna... I think I have a match... 
hard to tell for sure because of all the AM BCB nearby the harbor, etc. 
interferes with the analyzers.

hope to hear many stations on the air!!

73, Cliff K6CLS
