Hi Stefan,

your signal was remarkable, taking into account that the antenna (lazy-L 11=
m high, 25m long) is tuned to 500kHz. Properly tuned to 137kHz it would be =
at least 20dB stronger (579), but as even on the 500kHz antenna QRM/QRN is =
way above the RX noise it wouldn't affect the SNR (what was abt 10dB).
Meanwhile I have unplugged the antenna as thunderstroms are predicted this =
night.=20
Leaving the antenna plugged with thunderstorm can be as effective as a scre=
wdriver ;-).

73, Rik=20

Rik,

Many thanks!

Have to replace a IRFP460 now, after making an unwanted fault with a
screw driver ;-)

73, Stefan
