I heard you calling CQ on CW, and presumably you also on QRSS something or other a bit later. The antenna of course was WAY off resonance so you were pretty weak - DCF39 was only s8.

The resulting 9.8mH should according to my calculations have brought it to resonance on around 136, but my AA200 shows no resonance only a very slight dip at 400kHz and it now seems even worse with DCF39 only s7... I shall be racking my brains over the next few days over why the theory doesn't seem to work! This will be receive only, I have no plans to get transmitting again as my old transverter is very much in bits nowadays. 73 Dave G3YMC http://www.davesergeant.com =20 --0-756002736-1277314913=:2760 Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

I took a listen down on 136kHz= last night Chris, using my 500kHz
resonant vertical and my Datong UC/1= . I heard you calling CQ on CW, and
presumably you also on QRSS somethi= ng or other a bit later. The antenna
of course was WAY off resonance so you were pre= tty weak - DCF39 was
only s8.

This morning I tried resonating th= e vertical on 136 using the old
'bucket' inductors I used when I was la= st on the band, which are still
in the dustbin by the vertical. The res= ulting 9.8mH should according to
my calculations have brought it to res= onance on around 136, but my
AA200 shows no resonance only a very sligh= t dip at 400kHz and it now
seems even worse with DCF39 only s7...
