Hi Marcus, LF,
Sorry to hear about your loading coil, I think all of us 136kHz op's know
the smell.
I have attached a screen shot from my overnight captures showing NM & AGC.

Thanks to Laurence, Gary, Dex, Piotr and jay for looking out and for
the
grabbers. As far as I could see, RN3AGC was active on 136176.5 throughout
the night until daylight.
My own beacon was on from 21:11 to 3:48, but failed thereafter due to
breakdown of the loading coil. Apparently at about 19 kV rms, an arc had
finally formed between the two concentric litz coil sections, which burnt
through the plastic and eventually led to a short circuit. Opening the
plastic bag produced the attached picture - some of you may know
the smell...
Best regards,
Markus

It's a cold and dry night, excellent for LF - looks like I'm getting
about
2 dB more aerial current than usual. So I intend to transmit an
overnight DFCW-200 beacon in the Eu slot later tonight. Unfortunately the
LF grabbers at DK7FC (very useful) and JA7NI (wishful thinking ;-) seem
to
be currently offline.
Any reports, or some company TX-wise, would be very much appreciated!
Best 73,
Markus (DF6NM)
