Hello LowFers
In spite of heavy QRM this weekend, I heard:
IK5ZPV, HB9ASB, I5MXX, DF2PY, DJ1ZB (rather poor), LX1PD (extremely strong,
made G3XTZ).
Antenna made a little longer, now it was inv-L 103 meters long, RX IC-751A.
In advance for TX purposes I made 5-pole low-pass filter (160 kHz) which I tried to switch on and off when listening to poor signals. There was absolutely no difference.
Now preparing for TX, estimated power for first trials I consider about 100W which my
"miniature" loading coil could survive. I suppose to transmit both CW and
Slow-CW.
Thanks all for discussion on inv-L and T antennas and capacity hats.
