LF: MB2HFC

[G0MRF@aol.com]

After a successful weekend at the new Savill court location, the RSGB HF Convention at Windsor closed earlier this afternoon.
The LF demonstration station  benefited from some heavy overnight rain and with the addition of another 80 feet to the top loading managed an improved 2.4 amps of antenna current.
Early this morning M0BMU, G3YXM G3XTZ and I, tried adding an inductor in series to one of the earth radials. We hoped that resonating the radial would more accurately simulate a quarter wave counterpoise. We measured the earth current in the radial and resonating increased the figure by 300%.  Sadly, the antenna current remained the same.......Oh well, more work required.

Thank you to all for reports on the reflector and to the following for QSOs.
