Don't hold your breath, but I spent yesterday resonating my aerial for 73kHz
so plan to give it a try for my first 73kHz QSO.   The effort will have it's
limitations in that I seem to be only able to get about 1/2 amp of aerial
current, the Datong converted is probably overloading and thus intermods
raise the noise floor, and as yet havn't solved the problem of creatiing
side-tone for the keying...
