Hello again folks.

I have been sending copious cqs during the week and especially today, Sunday, morning. No reports of being heard so I wonder did anyone out there hear my signals I wonder?

I have made improvements to my antenna since I had contacts with Jim M0BMU and Tom, G3OLB last weekend and thanks to you both for the encouraging reports.

Since then I have put a second wire on the horizontal part to increase the capacitance ans it made quite a difference to the loading coil turns to achieve resonance with an increase in antenna current. I have also increased the height of the top wires to 50 ft so I did think I would be getting somewhere. Maybe you were all outside enjoyong the sun and who could blame you?

Will be continuing with the calls as and when I can so if you hear me would you please report to me?

Thanks and 73 from John, G3JRL, Weymouth.
