Hi Rik,
Thanks for the heads-up.
I think your antenna is better than mine, but possibly not by much. I do have another concern however, and that is the high voltage at the antenna. The capacitance at 136 kHz is (measured) 390 pF. With a total system impedance of 150 Ohm and 1 kW this translates to 7.7 kV!! On 500 I already had some "interesting" phenomena with 5 kV. The antenna is end-fed here in the shack in the attic.
So I will have a fire extinguisher at hand when tx-ing on 136..

Regards,
Minto pa3bca.

Minto,

I was active on 136kHz with a similar antenna (15m high, 25m long "lazy-L" antenna) and in addition the losses were very high (abt. 130-160 Ohm). Despite that I managed to work distances up to 1600km in regular CW (best DX = OH1TN).
So don't dispair.
