During our last rain, the top of the Helix Can blew off and the contents 
got wet.  Since then the power output of the beacon has been low. I'm 
working to get everything dry and back to normal.

Seeing watering hole WM a bit better but still weak compared to what it 
had been. EAR is coming through at normal strength, along with some 
lawnmower racket.

Hi Garry?.thanks for the report and Argo snips.  It looks to me that
the signal was stronger in the earlier portion of the waterfall.

Hi Garry.

Thanks for the WM Spot. I'm not sure what has changed to cause the lower 
output. I can see the PA input current is lower than it was over winter. 
I suspect something is not right in the exciter.

Mike, WM is noticeably stronger this morning. Perhaps due to the weather 
front moving in.
