Hi Mal,

OK on all your comments below. Just by coincidence I'm trying to strip the
enamel insulation on this Decca Litz wire and just 5 min ago I ran across a
posting by you back in Sept 12 of 2001 on the subject. You indicate that
paint stripper worked for your wire but, unfortunately, it doesn't seem to
work for me. I'm guessing my problem is the type of stripper I am using. Can
you tell me the brand name of the product you used and/or the ingredients
listed on the can?

Thanks in advance.

Bill A

Hello Bill
I know you are serious and I will be looking West for smoke, because of the
big RF amperage
in loops it will possibly happen. I am sticking to the vertical that worked
so well last year to the USA and Canada for transmitting but will use both
the loop and the vertical for best reception and am arranging a space
diversity system for optimum signal. My loop is positioned for optimum
results from the East/West. I have some high trees and masts at this QTH and
am also hoping to increase the loop size to 180 metre perimiter. The bottom
element will be at least 10 feet above ground.
Recently I have been using the W & G SPM -12 level meter as a receiver with
the 25 hz bandwidth plus a DSP audio filter and it is better than any
convential receiver. It is so sensitive with my loop and vertical that I
have to throttle it well back.
I do not think there is any possibility of missing transatlantic signals
given even minimal propogation.
Good luck and hope to hear/see some signals soon from across the deep blue.
