Obviously the system works sort of, and the much-put-upon BK actually manages to get up to 125 w out on that band but there are marked anomalies in the inductance settings required - at maximum antenna current (1+A) the reqired L is far too high and replacing the antenna with an equivalent circuit produces resonance at around 95KHz. There's summat cockeyed somewhere, so more work is needed to ascertain whether it's the mathematics or the hardware. Howsomever, if anyone feels that way inclined I am willing to try a sked or two. 73 de, Ian GI8AYZ/MI0AYZ
