Antenna current was around 1.5A. Still not much, but enough. The TX has been totally rebuilt since my first QSO with SM6PXJ, now there's a nice metal case and almost everything is well-mounted. Almost everything - the RX preamp still uses a double-sided scotch tape and it fell down during the last QSO :) What a shame, I have to change the preamp board, cause it was not designed to be mounted using screws or something HI I must say I AM SORRY to everyone that might have been interfered by my poor VCO, sweeping here and there +/-30Hz. The previous VXO was better as for the stability, but it used to stop generating sometimes and this might have caused serious damage to the output FETs... Anyway, I will look for another signal source. Thanks to everyone, I will try to be on-air tomorrow evening also. vy 73!
