Dear Cesare, hi group,

 great to hear this! Yes, I had tried to answer your CQ's in Hell. Judging 
from what you have read, you were apparently watching in LSB mode, whereas I 
was transmitting USB (higher freq on top): "I5TGC DF6NM K" :-) . Tnx for the 
report, I hope we have another chance soon.

This week, I have put an extra aluminium telescoping rod in the chimney 
beneath the fiberglass pole, elevating its tip from 6m to about 12m above our 
rooftop. Comparing the received voltage from DBF39 against a nonresonant 
loop, I measured the effective height as 9.3m. With a total loss resistance 
of 36 Ohms,  I thus get 0.08% efficiency and about 100mW radiated power at 
1.9A, some 5dB more than before. But its a little scary to see the makeshift 
mast bend in the wind, so I may soon have to retract it.

73 de Markus, DF6NM
