Sorry John, I've been concentrating on HF CW just lately but will make a
determined attempt to get on 136 CW today (Friday) and Sunday.

Don't despair! You are putting out a good signal into this neck of
the woods with your new system -I have been hearing you regularly .

Hello again folks.
I have been sending copious cqs during the week and especially
today, Sunday, morning. No reports of being heard so I wonder
did anyone out there hear my signals I wonder?
I have made improvements to my antenna since I had contacts with
Jim M0BMU and Tom, G3OLB last weekend and thanks to you both for
the encouraging reports.
Since then I have put a second wire on the horizontal part to
increase the capacitance ans it made quite a difference to the
loading coil turns to achieve resonance with an increase in
antenna current. I have also increased the height of the top
wires to 50 ft so I did think I would be getting somewhere.
Maybe you were all outside enjoyong the sun and who could blame
you?
Will be continuing with the calls as and when I can so if you
hear me would you please report to me?
Thanks and 73 from John, G3JRL, Weymouth.
