[600MRG] Ground Wave Propo

[Mike.WE0H]

I ran CW by the ear tests for a long time during daylight hours and 
found 3w into the feedline gave rock solid 100 mile coverage with no 
special equipment needed to hear it. It does go much further but that 
was a distance used as a reference. Using my Sangean ATS-909 with it's 
internal loopstick I could hear that 3w CW at 50 miles out like a piece 
of cake on any day. When I bumped it up to 90w into the feedline it was 
stupid loud :-P Fun stuff doing that local testing.
