You came up to about 11/12 db above the noise on your 40m wire with me on your first transmission. When you changed to the balloons the signals went up to peak about 18dB above the noise. You are now back to about 11dB above the noise. I'm using the long term average from Spec Lab to estimate the noise floor. 73 Chris G3WCD On 19/03/2011 11:04, Chris Osborn wrote: > LF, > > The wind got up and the aerial wire snagged a tree, capturing my > balloons at 10.50Z. > I am now back on the end fed 40m still on 8.976 661 kHz > > Comparisons in signal strengths of the two systems would be interesting. > > 73 Chris G3XIZ > > --------------060807050805090307090004 Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi Chris - The balloons were doing great on this beautiful day.

LF,

The wind got up and the aerial wire snagged a tree, capturing my balloons at 10.50Z.
I am now back on the end fed 40m still on 8.976 661 kHz

Comparisons in signal strengths of the two systems would be interesting.
