Congratulations Roger!

7.5m high steel mast and ~20m 1/4 sloper for 80m band from 7.5m to 1.5m

Looking my reports qrss.nm.ru ->500

If you could SEE my TX, "antenna" and ATU you would realise how
amazed
I am
at this report from G3XVL. My antenna is literally 15m of low
horizontal
wire with about 2m of it vertical, a central heating ground and an ATU
on
the bedroom table made from a ferrite rod and fed with 700mW from a
2N3906/2N3904. This proves that 500kHz is possible with a
*really*minimalist station. I can only imagine what will be possible
with some
effort on my part.
Today has been one of the most enjoyable since I got my licence in
1967.
Thanks to everyone on this list for encouraging me.
