Hi All at LF,

Jim's beacon signal has been good & strong all week with me here in NW
England IO83QP.

I decided to go back to a previous (my best) antenna configuration in my
small back garden & try to improve the efficiency on that. It seems that I
have been succesful. I tested this evening (13-08-2004) from about 1955z
starting at lowest DC input (100 watts) & increase to 300 watts maximum. The
antenna current was the highest I have recorded at 2.5 amps, but I noticed
that at that power level I was switching a neighbours "Touch Light" in a
bedroom on each key down, I know it is a touch light, I have two & have to
disconnect them when using LF Tx. There is probably no cure because I found
mine were activated even on Top Band (160 mtrs). Has anyone else experienced
this problem?

Regards

Gary - G4WGT
