Thank-you Markus for the report and the OPDS grabber.
The aerial and its current are both higher; this should result in more decodes.

Thank-you to G3XDV and GW0EZY for the reports of last night's
transmissions.  The aerial was iced and the current was only about 200 mA.
Yesterday, 3 trees had an unhappy encounter with an axe and an LF fanatic
on snowshoes.  The aerial is now free from trees and ice. It's drawing
1 amp of RF with 50 watts from 1 Decca PA module at 30 VDC.
(The main PSU needs new rectifers)
