Jim,

I can hear the first 4 signal levels consistently. On 100mW I would say you
are peaking about RST 5 7 9 .

Dear LF Group,<br>
<br>
As art of continuing investigations into antennas, grounds, etc., I am runni=
ng a beacon at the moment on 503.5kHz - I am testing a small &quot;/P&quot;=20=
antenna similar to what G3CWI proposed to use a couple of weeks back. It is=20=
a 9m high &quot;umbrella&quot; with 4 x 5m long top loading wires sloping at=
 about 45degrees. Ground system is 4 x 20m radial wires.<br>

<br>
The beacon is transmitting an 8wpm CW identifier, followed by five 5 second=20=
dashes at reducing power levels in steps of 6dB. The maximum ERP is somewher=
e in the region of 100mW ERP. The sequence repeats every 2 mins roughly.<br>

<br>
I&#39;ll leave it running until after dark at least - any reports would be v=
ery welcome.<br>
<br>
Cheers, Jim Moritz<br>
