Hi Minto,

How much power were you generating?

It changes all the time. Not even sure since i just have an E field probe to decouple some power from my TX antenna and feed it to a 50 uA amperemeter, shunted by a potentiometer. This poti was adjusted to show 100% full scale when using 120 W RF before some weeks. Now reduced the parallel R on the poti so it shows just 25 uA then. Got 50 uA anyway by QRO and more (not sure). So it should be arround 500W. This is -6 dBfs :-)

But the antenna, i.e. the coil and its cover is very lossy it seems. When there was rain, i have up to twice the losses :-( Need to search for an alternative cover (mustn't burn, so a water barrel is no alternative...).
