There are 19 radials each between 60' and 100', some buried, some on the surface. It is actually my 160m antenna extended. No testing until later today as otherwise occupied, but John, I would like to carry out some more tests using your grabber. Also discovered Dave 'YXM's grabber yesterday which is most useful. SM and DL beacons are easiily audible here after dark. 73 Tom G3OLB ----- Original Message ----- From: "hamilton mal" To: "rsgb" Sent: Wednesday, August 08, 2007 9:07 AM Subject: LF: 500 Beacons >A strong signal from Tom/G3OLB all day yesterday 549 and then abt 2000z > peaking S7.
