You are just pumping rf into the eart= h. Try a=20 resonated 137 antenna and I might hear you.

This is the very beginning of my journey onto=20 136kHz....

For anyone very very close to Burwell,= Cambs,=20 JO02DG, I'm putting a QRP 10wpm keyer-generated CW message (later to= be=20 changed to QRSS3) out on 136.96kHz CW into my earth electrode antenna.= Power=20 from the TX is about 500mW, so ERP is just a few microwatts at most.=A0= =20

I'd appreciate reports, but be amazed to get any until I sta= rt to run=20 some more power into a real antenna.
