Hi Alan,

Thanks for the encouraging report about the bad conditions...
I was starting to worry that my aerial was not working.
Yesterday I measured the FS and it was way down.  I went up
the hill and put a big insulator on the far end of the wire and
raised it up about 10 feet.  My aerial current went up by 50%!
It seems that the insulation on the wire was not very effective
when I had the far end tied off to a tree!
