Ok I'l TX shortly on .710 QRSS 60 full call.

Antenna is up with three fibreglass poles so at full height for now,=20
might try to get centre/vertical up to 12m.
All the local trees are 50+ meters away but i have 2m high buildings=20
around the yard..

No mains at the base of the antenna so unfortunately that is no use,=20
currently a single 1m/50mm rod into the ground.. yes just one!
