[600MRG] [Lowfer] WG2XCT CW Beacon on 475.1 KHz

[Pat Bunn]

I will be running WG2XCT on 475.1 KHz all night at 8 wpm.
 
I installed 9 more radials on the antenna today. Hopefully, that will improve  the ground plane. I used about 950 feet of # 14 stranded THHN. A hot day in SC made it fun.

Transmitter will be running at 900 Watts.

All reports will be appreciated.
