I heard you calling CQ on CW, and presumably you also on QRSS something or other a bit later. The antenna of course was WAY off resonance so you were pretty weak - DCF39 was only s8. This morning I tried resonating the vertical on 136 using the old 'bucket' inductors I used when I was last on the band, which are still in the dustbin by the vertical. The resulting 9.8mH should according to my calculations have brought it to resonance on around 136, but my AA200 shows no resonance only a very slight dip at 400kHz and it now seems even worse with DCF39 only s7...

I took a listen down on 136kHz last night Chr= is, using=20 my 500kHz

presumably you also on QRSS something or other a bit la= ter. The=20 antenna

only s8.

my calculations have brought it to resonanc= e on=20 around 136, but my
AA200 shows no resonance only a very slight= dip at=20 400kHz and it now
