Still not got the matching sorted out as the SWR is pretty lousy but think the coil is now on resonance. Called G3KEV and G3XIZ earlier with no results so was getting disheartened... Did some tests earlier across town with John G3NCN who has only an untuned antenna for 500kHz - his 579 report didn't fill me with enthusiasm either but at least the signal sounded nice and clean to him. Hope to get the matching sorted over the next few days, but it is not helped with the current horrible weather and I have a few other things to occupy me before Monday. Your QRRS3 is pretty strong here in Bracknell (IO91PJ)! 73 Dave G3YMC http://www.davesergeant.com
