Hello Stefan,=0AMy 500 transmit set up has been dismantled for some time. I=
 achieved only =0Alocal QSO's up to 225 miles due entirely to my very small=
 antenna in my very =0Asmall garden. As Mal once said to me I need to move =
house! Well that is not =0Apossible but I could go /p and I have been follo=
wing all your activities to =0Alearn from your experiences. I am also encou=
raged by Finbar EI0CF, who has =0Aachieved great success on 500 portable as=
 well as from his home QTH. =0A=0AI am a technician not an Engineer or Scie=
ntist (ex. marine R/O) but I can =0Areproduce ideas from others so I am a k=
