[Amps] Bird 43 slugs

[Gary Schafer]

No problem Paul. It will read low because the loop in the element is too
small for the lower frequency. The higher power elements have a wider
bandwidth than the lower power elements so your reading may not be way off.
Not sure how much though as I haven't done it at those frequencies.
