The antenna was an ex-Decca active antenna with only a 3ft whip up at only 20ft AGL feeding the prototype of Jim's LF preamp/upconverter outputting at 4MHz into the FT1000MP - the converter is doing a good job Jim! I have finally got my 55ft wind-up aluminium scaffold pole mast back up in the air again after the LF antenna system was wrecked during a storm earlier this year. The 20m high tree tree holding one end of the antenna came crashing down taking with it the top section of the 55ft mast and all the guy ropes 150ft away at the far end of the garden because the 3-wire top didn't break! I hope to be QRV shortly again on 136kHz and also hopefully 73kHz. Vy 73 de Derek Atter G3GRO, QTH Crawley, West Sussex IO91VC
