Time 22:20 utc Having to close down early tonight due to overheating in matching transformer does'nt like 180sec DFCW ! No traces seen on grabber so guess condx not so good. thanks 73Laurie
As a newbie to this band, I'm wondering how best to have to adapt my existing HF antenna to work on 500KHz or make a new one .... any help please would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and 73's de Pau
