Guys, all responses looked good to me; When its stopped being windy I might try to "decouple the tower" method but in the mean time Ive changed to a single vertical stranded 8 gauge and moved it another meter from the tower. Ive also shorted the far end of the three wire cap top...I certainly got some form of "pd" between the wires when I did this but haven't had the time yet to check for any resonance changes or whether this is unrelated to LF. As it is I've not seen anything of DCF39 on Argo since the last SIE all is untested, but I must admit that Loran spurs are up a notch. Ive copied Steve EEE's single Argo screen format for MP and VO1NA capture on the web site (thanks Steve!)
