I agree with Laurie that the results obtained on 73kHz correlated with similar tests on 136kHz, between T/A signal strengths and Kp index. I reported that at the start of my transmission the frequency had drifted up 30mH (as measured on a Philips PM 6667 high resolution frequency counter) when in fact, according to Markus and Jose, it had drifted down by 30mH. I switched the DDS unit on at 1800hrs before I went out for the evening so it had been on for 6hrs. I didn't, however, leave the frequency counter switched on. The cause of the drift is not known.
