All noted Andy.

The aerial current is about 0.15A
The frequ= ency is drifting slightly due to shack cooling and is now
8.971 870 kH= z

I'll try the balloon aerial in about half an hour then switch to= slow QRSS.

If you want to send QRSS identifier at high speeds (relative) , sugge= st you repeat at 10 or 15 minute regular intervals.=A0 They will th= en show up up as periodic reductions in carrier level of about 3dB or so.<= /div>

If fact, tht just may be a suitable task for a new bit of software or= a PIC=A0- a mixed QRSSSSSS generator

Hopefully the system will keep going as the loading coil re= -wind
seems to have done the trick now that the varnish has dried.
