Bill, Jay and John,

Thanks for the reports.  This is encouraging -- at least
the sigs are getting out a bit.  No trace on the
VE7TIL grabber, but VY1JA was quite clear there.
There is now a pair of spider wound Litz tuning coils
in the shed to replace  the pvc insulated 2mm cu
coils.  Sadly, there was only a marginal increase
in the aerial current (now about 4 amps).

Running about 1-1.2 kW DC input tonight and looking
RU6LA and ZM2E and hoping Alan G3NYK can improve
the ionosphere.
