Thanks for the report Dick. Although I was sending a CQ I wasn't listening much because I had to go out at 0900. I will try to be on at 0800UTC tomorrow morning (Sunday 3/11) and will listen at the bottom end of the 73kHz band and also the 136kHz band. I have cleaned all the insulators. The top support insulators showed slight damage due to salt induced arcing so I have put on a very fine coat of silicon grease on them to see if this will help. What seems to happen is that a salt coated insulator still works OK but arcs over if it is raining when the transmitter is on. Regards, Peter, G3LDO e-mail Web
