Tests thismorning (Friday) very good on receive but unable to get the antenna system resonant with the coils at hand. I thought with 300m of wire I would need less inductance than the system at my home QTH. I appear to be wrong. My home QTH has a fairly large capacity top, not all that far from the ground. The GB2CPM antenna, although that much longer is higher so the capacitance is less. It is a much better receiving site than my home QTH, I copied M0AYF 579 calling CQ - a bit frustrating not to be able to answer the call. -- Regards, Peter, G3LDO <g3ldo@zetnet.co.uk>
