Yes, all night sessions put me in zombie mode for the following couple of days. I have only one long wire antenna My first 136 Xband with VE1ZJ was in September when the 14MHz band was open so I could use my minibeam. For the 'reverse' crossband 3.51MHz/136kHz I used the loop for 136 receive and the big antenna for transmitting. In the situation of 73kHz/3.5MHz I would have to use the same antenna for both. The only way I could do this would be to go down the garden and change over the antenna from the one transmitter to the other manually - not an impossible task However I think Laurie has a good separate 80m antenna. I think the USA LF team are concentrating on 136kHz tonight. Regards, Peter, G3LDO e-mail Web
