Congratulations to the new record Chris, Jim,
What is the exact distance? Some 10 km i think.

Chris, can't you use the inv-L and the balloon antenna in parallel? This
lowers the voltage and needed L, so less losses. And you can make QRO
without increasing the HV problems. If you come back to the same antenna
voltage, you will surely improve the ERP! And the resonance is rather
less affected by the vertical antenna movement due to wind since the
inv-L part stays constant!
If you increase the wire length to 60m (limit in UK) you would increase
the efficiency by up to 50% and lower the voltage by 20%!
Nice success just some minutes before 2011 :-)

Dear Chris, LF Group,
I seem to have a trace on your frequency - see attachment. SNR is
currently around 15dB with 1.5millihertz FFT resolution. It definitely
wasn't there before ;-)
Cheers, Jim Moritz
