Jim;
Should be great for next year.  I can see that it's not easy to put out a good signal on VLF!  Don't know if you'll see me in Arizona until I get up to full power.  Need bigger mica cap and then can get another 3 db.  I see limit though going to be around 800 watts RF power as voltage builds up to over 30 KV quickly as approach 1 KW!.
Will wait to see if you get even a trace tonight-I'll be on till 0600 or so and tomorrow again-73, Bob

Bob,

 

I’ll be monitoring your frequency continuously in Arizona, starting at 0700. Will you be on overnight?

 

Barring conflicts, I’ll put an Arizona grabber online next week, including a window for your signal.

 

The following week, barring conflicts, I will put a grabber online in Virginia, including a window for your signal..

 

I’m planning to have TX operational in both locations, in March.  TX and RX equipment is onsite and operational but TX equipment needs adjustments.

 

73, Jim AA5BW
