G3OLB 589; MB2HFC569. This was using the old loading coil and vacuum C, but since the tx is still languishing under the bench waiting completion it was not possible to join in. The new coil with vario is far too big for 136 but seems to resonate pretty well on 73 (which is the real interest) so it should not be too long now before there is resident activity from GI. Had to cry off the convention, unfortunately, but that's life. Will post again as things progress. Ian. GI8AYZ/MI0AYZ
