John ,
I wonder if the daytime signals are 'normal' or just as the sun activty is
quite low , the attenuation is 'low' , I have seen signals from down south
during the day as well ....
See you still loosing the top section of the ae , I lost one of the strops
that night as well , but that was a smaller rope , acting as a 'fuse'
Have you considered using small stainless steel 'wire' , small boat rigging
sort of , like, or bigger :-

Hello LF, Ray, Chris,
Just had a listen and GI3PDN is RST539. Band noise extremely low so
fully Q5 despite being very weak, as long as I use the external tuneable
pre-amp. Also hearing GW4HXO calling CQ on 502.02 very weak but just
readable 429. Mal of course S8-9 on 502.5 as ever...
Waiting for a chance to drop the TX antenna to replace the broken
capacity wire which was the only damage sustained in Thursdays force
10-11 winds (gusts to 93mph were recorded locally...). Probably won't
be until tomorrow until I get a chance. Unitl then I'm RX only (again!)
Cheers,
John
