RE: LF: 75k-Op16 What happened between 00:29z and 02:58z ?

[Bob Raide <rjraide@hotmail.com>]

His new ant is working well for him.  I want to do something here, it is very frustrating not to be able to get some power into the ether.  If I could crank the amp up over a KW it would help but the blue flames coming off the feed point scare the hell out of me! 
I have epoxyed steel round bearings to it and it helps.  But for some reason [humidity?] some nights have to back down to 700-800 watts. Stefan also uses something that looks like a bleeder.  A pointed piece of thick wire arcing about half inch to a round ball.  Got to be something to surpress the corona{???} Spooky business...

Jay;
How can I get QRO  not even QRO but like 3-4 watts without burning the house down with 90' vert?  Alan Melia" said I'd be lucky to be making 1 watt"!

*WSPR2*  'coast- to-coast' last night 475 kHz ... WG2XJM > VE7BDQ ... WG2XJM > G3XKR ... running modest power - not QROO ;~) .

Wolf  dropped  off  the  Map  for  a  while  and nothing in the  data base ,

may of been  off  line  ... or there  is a very rapid  qsb at the  start ?

 

But that was  quite  a  run  last  night  , last  coast to  coast

was on 477  using  OP8 , that  reached  SV8  last time

 

May be this  would  of as well ??
