Today in the light of day I can see why. 2 of the sloping capcity wires have come adrift from their supporting guys and are flapping free, still connected to the apex of the vertical. No wonder it was hard to keep tuned! I'll be unable to repair it until Tuesday, as XYL and me are off the island from tomorrow for the weekend (she's running inthe Loch Ness Marathon in Inverness). The grabber is still available. I've added some more pics and sound clips of signals received (both here and from further afield) to my developing 500 web-pages. http://www.sighthound.demon.co.uk/gm4slv/500.htm Cheers, John
