Before long two way on LF across the pond will be the norm !!

Yes, this is great! ...........and we will finally get the opportunity to
show you guys over there how a TX loop burried in the woods can perform;
or
burn down the whole forest trying :~)
Hello Bill
I know you are serious and I will be looking West for smoke, because of the
big RF amperage
in loops it will possibly happen. I am sticking to the vertical that worked
so well last year to the USA and Canada for transmitting but will use both
the loop and the vertical for best reception and am arranging a space
diversity system for optimum signal. My loop is positioned for optimum
results from the East/West. I have some high trees and masts at this QTH and
am also hoping to increase the loop size to 180 metre perimiter. The bottom
element will be at least 10 feet above ground.
Recently I have been using the W & G SPM -12 level meter as a receiver with
the 25 hz bandwidth plus a DSP audio filter and it is better than any
convential receiver. It is so sensitive with my loop and vertical that I
have to throttle it well back.
I do not think there is any possibility of missing transatlantic signals
given even minimal propogation.
Good luck and hope to hear/see some signals soon from across the deep blue.

Bill A
