Hi All
Some strong signals today from DL and OK on QRS but also loud and workable on CW from here.
If LF acty picks up and there is a possibility of CW acty I will re engineer the LF vertical and see what I can work.
It is snowing today here, not good antenna wx.
Antenna system here consists of 3 x inv L antennas in parallel, each one 33 metres vertical and 140 metres horizontal, with an insulated ground radial system. I RX with this antenna as well as the 80 metre vertical loop. The loop is optimum E/W so its good for EU and beyond and also all places to the West.
This is the present setup but the vertical can be extended to have several inv L's attached if necessary, then I could do away  with the loading inductor, although at present it is only about 350 uH.
73 and HNY to all
