Hi Stefan, LF, Yes, I do have to adjust my variometer for MF & LF depending on the weather/soil being wet or dry. 73, Gary - G4WGT. MF, I've just finished the remote tunable variometer for MF, https:

Hi Albert and Gary, Yes, here it is the same. The detuning due to wet soil is higher than on LF. Also the relative rise of the resistive losses are higher than on LF. It can make up to 3 dB here. Now
Hello Stefan es Gary, The same here depending on weather conditions and of course frequency change, using a relative small variometer (DC-motor adjustable from the shack) in series with the fixed L.
Hi Stefan, I have thought about LF & MF antenna coil switching but I am very wary about the very high voltages on the LF coil due to my short vertical antenna. At the moment I have 3 screw connectors
Hi Stefan, having the LF coil in parallel to the MF one will not increase the losses at MF. But the open switch will have to withstand a high voltage when operating LF, which is not trivial. I had pl
Hi Stefan, I think that due to the difficulties in switching the 2 bands I will change the connectors over to 4mm banana plugs/sockets. I will still have to go outside & physically change them over b
