Im vy interested in aerial modifications: pse, what kind of tweaks have you
made?

The main tweak was to widen the three-wire top section a
little. At the end joining the vertical, the total width was
about 1.5m and it is now 1.9m. At the far end it is
unchanged at 2m. This increased the capacitance, and
decreased the size of the loading coil. See the following
web page for a picture of the general arrangement:

I also reduced some stray capacitances at ground level,
made the ATU construction less messy and improved the
toroidal matching. The current was 1.8A and is now 2A. Not
a lot of improvement but it all helps.
