My frequency counter says 72.40043 John's recordings show the usual after midnight fade. I have just been down to the transmitting shed and all looks OK except that the antenna current is down. I am not sure what causes the variation in current but the transmitter parameters are stable so the change must be due to environmental effects. I checked it at 1600rs today and the antenna current was up to 4.6amps. All this evening the current has been around 3.9amps during the test transmissions. The weather is stable with a cold dry eastern wind - temperature in shack around 1 degree c. I have noticed these changes before and its not to do with day or night. When I was last seen in the USA the current was up to 4.3 amps. I am looking at tide tables! The sea is about 400m south of my QTH Regards, Peter, G3LDO e-mail Web
