corona - boy there's a few stories I can tell. With my ever-too-small antenna made from a pair of 0.5 mm enameled copper wires, I have to run 15 kV rms to radiate 200 mW, and it always glows at one point or another:

I have set up the decimated audio around John's 137577.31, so if you can get on, I guess it would be best if you joined in within +- 0.4 Hz from his QRG. I am now working on injecting a 1pps GPS reference to the second antenna input. This will (in theory) allow phase measurements if you transmitted spot on 137577.000 tonight, but bearing the risk of local QRM.

73 and good luck

Markus

I'm headed out to repair the last remaining discharge point and will advise if I'll be running tonight. I could run in the wateringhole on 137778 as Steve is away from his station tonight.
