I have been reading the mail but have been rather busy. I have just sent off all the chapter of a new book on Mobile radio. This turned out to be more time consuming than I expected, one of the reasons was the amount of experimental work I had to do. An interesting aspect of mobile radio is HF backpacking, working DX using 5W QRP with a rig that you can carry around. (inspired by the introduction of the FT-817). This got me experimenting with small antennas and counterpoises, which in turn gave me some inkling of the problems I was having operating from LF Amberley. It would seem that an HF backpack is a useful method of modelling LF antennas. I have not forgotten that I had promised to put LF reflector material on my website. This has been on hold since late April but I will resume this work as soon as possible. The CFA discussion prompted me to include new item on the web site. It comes under the heading What's New. Let me know what you think about it. Regards, Peter, G3LDO e-mail Web
