VLF,

I'm now running 350W into the system and get about 0.8 A antenna current. Strong audible partial discharges occurr on a parallel fixed plate capacitor, spaced by 3 cola bottles (0.33l ;-) ). At 550 mH i have 25 kV rms on the antenna and coil which seems to be no problem at all.

The frequency is still a bit unstable since i took the DDS VFO which is more comfortable to find the resonance. I will now try to slightly QRO and then apply a fiber optic cable carrying the GPS locked frequency coming from the PC/SpecLab, hopefully without to many phase glitches. Currently i may have an offset of some 20...30 mHz and a slight drift but it is a first successfully test :-)

73, Stefan/DK7FC
