Dear MFers

I made a capacity-hat portable vertical yesterday. I would have gone out 
to test it except the band was covered in static crashes. It occurred to 
me that they might not be that far away so instead of 500kHz I threw the 
10GHz gear in the car and drove out to a local hill where I used the top 
of a thunderstorm to work deep into Germany (nearly 700km). The two 
bands seem to compliment each other quite well in that respect.

My 500kHz vertical has a 10m vertical section and four 5m long 
top-loading wires. I hope to test it as soon as the weather improves.
