Kuni JA7NI, copied traces of VE7TIL's test signal today after setting up a grabber which can be viewed here by clicking the 'grabber' link: http://ja7ni.web.fc2.com/ TIL plans to increase the efficiency of his transmitting loop and improve the power handling ability of his tuner so power can be increased to obtain the 1W EIRP limit. TIL estimates the ERP of last nights tests at or lower than 160mW. Meanwhile, NI plans to install a large RX loop when weather conditions cool down in JA to improve reception over his 110m beverage optimized for 160m DXing. Congratulations to Kuni! 73 Scott VE7TIL CN89dk http://www3.telus.net/sthed/argo/
