That would be a good time for Dex to fire up a big amp into his monster
flattop on 136kc. My loops tuning changes at night also. Don't remember
which way but it certainly changed every night. Not far enough to cause
problems but enough to see local radiated signals change from daytime.
I'll see what I can do as far as radiating a big signal by then. All the
parts are here but laying in a pile on my bench as usual...

First airing of the Jim BMU tuning meter this evening - and its
marvellous to watch the vairation in phase during the day which from
the first 24 hours definately has a cyclic quality with the loop going
capacitive at night when the temp drops from close to 100F at 51 pc
rel humidty down to 81F and 70 pc or greater - mind you it may be the
G2/3 mica caps changing C as it cools out there but I dont think so.

Early prelim warning of a possible LF DXpedition to V51 in Late Feb
early March 2006 - although in earlies of planning stages I hope to
get a few days listening and possible X banding in if poss. Location

of Windhoek the capital of Namibia in Southern Africa - Ill be there
