Thank-you Markus, Gary and Mike for the reports.
The opera will run again tonight, but we are expecting freezing
drizzle which seems to lengthen or othwise increase the capacitance
of the wire and detune it.

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)
