And it's fun to see the immediate feedback on the database. Thanks very much to NL9222, F5WK, M0BMU, DL4YHF, F4DTL, IK5ODO, F4EMV and G4WGT for sending your reports. I normally run about 200 W RF and 3.6 amps antenna current, but for the last two hours, I had set back the power supply to 75 W giving 2.2 amps. Antenna efficiency is on the order of 0.2 %. Transmit operation here also depends very much on favourable weather... Kind regards, Markus, DF6NM
