Ian,
Maybe you should use a better receiver rather than the 'cats whisker'
HI!
I have the same problems here but with horses rubbing themselves on the
mast at the bottom of the field!
There was a great screen saver for the PC sometime ago with
Schrodinger's cat! Ask GM4ISM!
Good lk on the DX - will be closely listening for a first
GM-transatlantic QSO
Regards
Simon GM4PLM

Subject: LF: 136 last Sat.
At around 2230z last Saturday I copied " ....AYZ M LA K" in QRSS3 on
Eds frequency after he had sent "PSE 10" and I had called him in that
mode. I acknowledged his report and sent him a report of 'OO' but failed
to get an ack in return. However at 3185 Km this is by far the best DX
report I have managed so far, and would indicate that at QRSS10, VO1 is
not outside the bounds of possibility. This, plus the fact that there is
no way I shall be able to get the tower and VHF/UHF beams up this
summer, has encouraged me to think again about continuing on 136 next
winter. But first a rebuild of the 'dogbox' will be necessary. Reason?
Blasted cats! The polythene sheet waterproofing of the existing
structure was found to have grown a number of small punctures, with the
result that the plywood lid is now pretty wet and antenna current down a
bit, because a couple of scrofulous moggies are using it as a launch pad
to get access to the garage roof as a love tryst. Just wait till they
try sharpening their claws on the insulator while the key is down. No
one told me that LF operations would include pest control.

Come to think of it, wasn't there an instance of "Kitten on the Keys" a
while back, with references to Schrodinger?
