Hello Chris, VLF!
My VLF receiver has been ready for your transmision= whole morning. I am not sure, but maybe I saw traces of your signal. It= is not demonstrable ... may be.

I finished build= ing and testing my new VLP PA. It works well, output power is 120W continu= ously. =A0I am going to transmit with this one next week.

73!

Lubos, OK2BVG

LF,

Thanks to Eddie (Northampton), Roger (nr Cambri= dge) and Paul (Todmorden) for the reports and screen shots.

The kite is still aloft despite nearly snagging a nearby tree several= times.
The wind is gusting and changing direction quite rapidly which= is causing big fluctuations in aerial current. The max current is about= 0.25A min about 0.15A

I estimate the aerial height as being between 40 - 50m (occasionally= down to 15m!) with 70m of total wire run out.

Provided the wind do= esn't shift too far to the East (where there's danger of snagging= house TV aerials) and the kite doesn't break free I'll leave the= set up as it is.

73 Chris G3XIZ

Now on DFCW600 4.5mHz where Chris is showing 10dB above the noise floor. The best signal yet.
N.B There is a frequency step in the display, it is not Chris sending DFCW it is my end.

LF,

I have been transmitting since 05.02Z and have managed to get my kite aerial
flying since 06.15

The supporting pole is bending at an alarming angle so I may lose the kite soon !
So look for me now before it breaks free - HI !
