JD=3B
VLF from what I can see=2C just after a couple days is cold and uninviting =
environment!  I enjoyed before transmitting=2C the clean airwaves free of t=
he loran artifacts and other various signals that were somewhat of a bit ir=
ritating!  But those LF bands had life and one could poke a good signal out=
.
I have a few things to do that might soften things up.  QRSS60 or 120 I don=
't think are going to get the job done.  My transmitter needs a bit more wo=
rk such as a tuned input circuit to keep the exciter generated harmonics ou=
t and amplify the desired freq more efficiently.  Certainly not giving up y=
et although things don't look easy.  May be next season to make a good show=
ing but for now will keep plugging away best I know how.
On a positive note I did get a great capture from Garry K3SIW west of Chica=
go along with a couple others out even further west and south of here in Vi=
rginia and SC.  Hitting Jay with almost audible signal ever so close where =
we are hoping to have a cross band QSO 137 to 29.
Going to be a learning experience! Thanks for the confidence-73=2C Bob
