Ok I'l TX shortly on .710 QRSS 60 full call.
Antenna is up with three fibreglass poles so at full height for now,
might try to get centre/vertical up to 12m.
All the local trees are 50+ meters away but i have 2m high buildings
around the yard..
No mains at the base of the antenna so unfortunately that is no use,
currently a single 1m/50mm rod into the ground.. yes just one!

Hi Rob,
But that sounds like a good progress anyway!
Are there many trees?
Do you use the mains earth too?
Can you get the wire a bit higher?
I would like to see a trace of you so if you like and it is fun for
you, just start in QRSS-60 or so, then we will see what comes out.
Later we can try faster :-)

My TX is now working all be it fairly QRP 90W ;-)
Antenna is 53m horizontal at ~9m high.. a droopy 'T' single strand
copper all the way.
I'm also receiving on this antenna too with much better results than
the loop i have.
Problem is going to be getting enough routes to earth, my last
attempts were getting ~1A antenna current with the same power but it
looks much worse on G4WGT's grabber than last time so i guess it's
less than 1A.
Will do some more improvements over the weekend.

Hi Rob,
Thanks for the report.
Oh yes, looking forward to see you on the band (or hear?).
What will you use as the TX antenna?

PS: Conds (local) are excellent again this evening! Worth to come to
QSO mode ;-)
