Hello David.
You are the strongest signal that I have heard for a long time from the South
with your 2 amps antenna current. Others with 4 amps plus are well down on your
signal. Look out for smoke on the horizon. Lots of coils have gone up in flames
before and no doubt many more will go again. Big coil fires and mosfet PA
zapping is a persuit down South !!!!
