Hello Stefan.
 
I just start my RX now, hunting at your signal.
 
I’ll test the both antennas K9AY (in the 4 possible directions) and the 2 els out of phase verticals, to see the diferences. On day time your signal is stable + / – 1 dB.
 
So, more info in the evening.

Hello Andy, MF/LF,

Very good!! I see you also like playing in the garden ;-) And i like to see that my daytime signal is of some use for others.

Interesting results.
Now, how do the 2 verticals perform compared to the K9AY?
Is there a significant gain (better S/N!) compared to a single vertical?
Do you have even more space in the garden to get some more spacing than 0.05 Lambda? :-)

Yesterday i have been at my parents QTH, now my car is full of stuff, wires, coils, ferrite cores, heavy ground rods, a sledge hammer, cord, batteries, RG58, adapters........
I guess i will also need about 1 mH to resonate the small RX antenna to MF. This will be the first test. I willl use an air coil and do some TX tests on that small RX antenna, just to check that it is accurately resonated and matched to 50 Ohm.
I will go to the garden now and play until late afternoon. Maybe you will see a weak signal on MF :-)
