[SECC] K4OGG 160M

[R. A. Painter]

Jay, you gave this secret away for free?!  Seriously, though, this is so
true and it's application has been especially helpful in boosting the LP
scores in this contest for Wo4o. A simple, inexpensive sloper for 160-M @
Wo4o does better than expected most of the time.  (Hey, I realize it's
almost Christmas and a special time for giving but don't give too many of
our LP secrets away :-)

73, Ric - Wo4o
