A quick test a few kms away from the QTH in the car suggests that 8uW from the Marconi is a lower ERP than I'm getting from the 20m spaced earth electrode antenna. So, for now, I've gone back to the earth electrode antenna and changed frequency to around 137.675kHz in the QRSS segment.

Realistically, until I radically improve the antenna system and increase the power another 10dB, I don't expect to get reports beyond about 20km. However, if you're relatively local to JO02dg (Burwell, East Cambs) please take a look and see if you can copy me. I'm still looking for a report from someone other than me out /P looking for my own signal :-)
