It`s really grand success with your antenna. I think the main reason is that you put the coil ontop the chimney and no longer heat up the chimney with HF,hi. Best DX to you, the baby boy is now a boy. And to all others: At this time I am not even baby boy because my antenne is down by storm. That is not too bad, but the mast with rotor is also damaged and I have to put it down to see what happened. So for the next time I am not QRV,sri. (only e-mail, packet and local 2m,hi). 73 Walter DJ2LF -----Urspr|ngliche Nachricht----- Von: MarkusVester@aol.com An: rsgb_lf_group@blacksheep.org Datum: Dienstag, 1.
