At this moment (0840 UTC) I hear G3LDO with CQ on 73kHz: RST 359 with the
aerial system tuned to 136kHz.
Thanks for the report Dick. Although I was sending a CQ I wasn't listening
much because I had to go out at 0900. I will try to be on at 0800UTC
tomorrow morning (Sunday 3/11) and will listen at the bottom end of the
73kHz band and also the 136kHz band.
I have cleaned all the insulators. The top support insulators showed slight
damage due to salt induced arcing so I have put on a very fine coat of
silicon grease on them to see if this will help. What seems to happen is
that a salt coated insulator still works OK but arcs over if it is raining
when the transmitter is on.
Regards,
Peter, G3LDO
