Dave/Dave/Gary/Mike,
Many thanks for your mails & reports, just
collected - had an early night after hard labour on Sunday.
Mike/HXO, you're still the GLD of Wales - I'm just
warming up the trees here!
FYI, since March have been QRP [6W from mini-Tx,
via external LPF with 1dB insertion-loss, so 4.75W via 100m 1/2" buried coax to
remote ATU].
Last Thursday I routed the PA dc feed from
12V to the 22V pre-regulator supply & mini-tx now running happily with 20W
o/p, after adding 15kuF smoothing.
Then I removed the external -1dB LPF
& still no sign of M/wave harmonics off-site; so +6dB overall
increase. I_ant now ~0.6A.
Tx is still running on ~501.5.
Tks for tests.
73, Rog.
Dave/WCB; FB on ur Mk1 - this one is mimosa
yellow, currently SORN, hope to MOT it soon.

Hi
Rog, LF
Screengrab of GW3UEP at 2107 utc. Just strong enough to
be audible in peaks of QSB. Lots of static this evening, but I think you signal
is definitely stronger.
Still
looking for GW4HXO...
BTW,
I've got a Mk1, Conifer green with a yellow nose, swing-axles and
all...
73,
Dave G3WCB IO91RM
