Hi Charlie,
Yes it is on the air and KF5JIA just ceased reporting it a bit ago. I suspect noise is picking up as we approach twilight. Its a U3 so for it to show up in the database it has to be heard and reported. Hopefully things will pick up again as we transition to darkness.
I am monitoring it here so definitely still in good shape.
thanks for listening! much appreciated!
John

John, is it on the air now ? I have a receiver sitting on 474.200 and
WSPR running.
I have not been able to get changed over to my good 600 meter antenna
due to the winds and the cold yesterday. I will get it done ASAP.
Right now I am using the R-75 and a G5RV at about 25 foot at the apex to
listen and don't have any filters or preamps in line.
When I change over to the good 600 meter antenna, I will also switch to
the SLM with all of the filters and amplifiers in line.

And no, its not an old buick out in the driveway on cinder blocks HI! I am still working out the ERP numbers but I am calling it 25 mW ERP at the moment.. I may revise that after I run the numbers again. Details after the experiment.
