Lubos,
many thanks for your report!
I'm testing the coil for long transmissions; I
have observed, for my first time, that atmospheric conditions
affects antenna current: for example, today it's been a sunny
and dry morning, in fact I reach 625mA; in the afternoon the
sky was so cloudy and I have measured only 570mA. Now the
value is stabilized around 590mA (relative humidity's still
high: 86%).
I'm preparing an EbNaut setup for next days: I
will announce details soon.
All the best
