This a resend I sent it first by just hitting the return button and got a
Bounce back "Mail Failure Report" this time I am re-entering the Blacksheep
address from my address book.....see if that works.
OK Dennis
Thanks for the info. You do
well with that set up, perseverance is the word I guess. I
will send you a 3D cad image of my new antenna by direct
e-mail in a bit. OK about Chris advertising the Sunday
morning net on abt 473.5 between abt 9:00 to 10:30 local
that's a good idea. I do listen and report to Chis XIZ
when I do. Its a good idea to put the word out. The thing
is there just isn't the activity those that did come on
have either passed away or lost interest with no real
replacement. I am talking CW QSOs like communication
here..
I will join you on the net but my set
up right now is not easy for two way and I don't really
have the time just at the moment to build it up a change
over relay box. The rig as it stands should be good for
50Watts on a higher PA voltage. But its not reliable there
is a fault that stops the synth intermittently I may revert
to xtal control until I finally sort it out.
I'll e-mail you directly
with some more info on projects which are bit off topic on
here.

Hello Pete
I am not surprised that you
are not getting many reports on your daytime
mf
transmssions as neither do I, but still
get
reports from Chas G3DXZ
(Retford) every
Sunday
morning, and had similar reports from Northern
Ireland (weeks ago). The fact is
that there as been little activity on mf,
as with most bands except contest
times. Why not join us Sunday morning (9
to 1030 local)? Chris G3XIZ has
advertised
our net in Sprat and a regular
net is one
way of keeping
the band open with the hope that the more
often
the band is used, the more popular
it
might get. Chris often gets an EU
contact late evenings, but I have to
reserve
that time for my wife. Chris
said he has seen you on the Sheffield
grabber
in the past. Things should
look up in the winter with the longer hours
of
darkness.
Incidently, on mf
I am still
running 20 watts into a 40m inverted 'V'
dipole
(24ft high) with
50ohm twin feeder
(loudspeaker figure of 8
wire),
connected
as a
'T' aerial with the usual mf inductometer in
series in the
shack of
course. I can tune the ae as a dipole on
most
bands with my 'T'
match ATU and as
a
'T' aerial with ittle extra inductance for
TB. Not the
most
efficient
arrangment but running only
5watts QRP, it gets me out
without too
much trouble. My
Wellbrook RX loop
works much better since I
elevated it 8ft
away from all the garden
clutter, and the
RX mini-whip 20 ft
high
serves a turn also
PS:
Some of those long dashes may be mine
as I have been trying
to prevent
mf getting into my PC.
