Hi Rik,
          Hope you got my posting regarding my  antenna measurements,
spacing etc.
Regarding  the  deep QSB  on my signal on the 21st Feb,  I can confirm  that
I was
not  changing power, it remained the same  during  the  period in use.
Perhaps its the nature of my  all  Horizontal  antenna, maybe just
conditions ?
I was very pleased to work into Finland and Denmark this evening (22nd),
Reino  OG5UFO was booming in  at  a steady  559.
The only  other modification I can think of at the moment, is to mount, say,
600 uH
of the  850 uH , high up  at   7 metres and  finish off  with  250 uH in the
shack. The
aim being to minimise  shunting  effects. But is it worth it,  not sure!
Very best  regards
Finbar    EI0CF     Malin Head.
