Joe,
thanks, good that you are intending to get on,
despite those difficulties! I hope we can catch possible irregularities on
your signal tomorrow morning. Of course it would be ideal to have that straight
carrier - considering your usual signal strength you would probably
still be easily observable if you reduced your power by a factor of two pr
three.
All the best,
Markus

Dear Group,
A
trip up the hill in deep snow with a wattmeter confirmed the
RL was seriously
detuned with ice. The original 100m wire was
also iced and of little use
until it was retuned. The forecast
is for 1C tonight so if the ice melts, the
RL will be energised.
The plan is to keep QRSS100 on for the night and
duration of
the eclipse. A 2 hour carrier was planned, but this is
risky.
A sharp drop in the Kyoto DST 2 days ago and the aerial ice
is
mother nature's way of making the eclipse experiment
challenging!
73
and good luck with the eclipse! Hope my sigs help.
