It's a bit bigger than the previous coil, and now includes a built-in variometer. The outer coil is wound on two large plastic buckets (Type 2, HD-PE) about 0.5 m diameter. I'll update my web site with full construction details and pictures soon. Yesterday (Friday), I was pleased to hear OK1DTN calling CQ at 18:25 UT (RST 559), but I'm not sure if he worked anyone. Later, I heard F6BWO (459); ON7ZO (559); PA0BWL (569); and OH1TN (559). Regards to all, Steve GW4ALG
