Sorry to hear of the loss of your antenna - your signal will be 
missed on the band. It has provided us all with encouraging LF signal 
reports in the very early days and QSOs ever since (My first 2 way 
136 QSO with HB9ASB was on 5/8/98). I'm sure that I am not alone in 
encouraging you to become active again on LF.

Toni's continuously loaded vertical antenna, using a top-band dipole 
as a capacity top, is described in the LF Chapter of the RSGB 
Communication Handbook.

This antenna was also used in a 73kHz/136kHz cross band slow CW QSO on 9/3/99.


A happy YK2 to you all


Regards, Peter, G3LDO
