Re: LF: 74.5493 instead...(1of2)

I've been running /5 from sundown to sunup.  200 watts leaving the 
shack.  Perhaps the signal will improve when the oak trees under the top 
hat wires are bare.  The leaves are just now beginning to fall.   Most 
of the several hundred feet of top hat wires run over a combination of 
oak and pine trees.  I've often wondered if my antenna would be more 
efficient with more loading instead of having the top hat.  I'll 
probably never know because it would be way to much work to find out.  
The antenna has been in use for 8 years.  I may find out when the top 
hat wire fails because I doubt I'm now able to replace them.
Nice to at least see those traces Mike.
