Hi MF
Probably not 2mW ERP Stefan ;-)
Have to reconfigure my U3 but
really don't know which ERP I'm getting right now
The PA outputs 60V RMS under
50Ohm load, but the loop is not an ideal load and I can tune it
to about 80V RMS. When detuned,
RMS runs up to >>100V and PA gets into problems
I tried to get loop performance
using Andy G4JNT excel and this is what I got
Probably many things wrong there
What I use is a 70m perimeter
loop made from RG59 coax (braid and inner shorted on ends) but not a
round circle
The resonate cap is very close
to what I need to tuneit.
So the "equivalent" round loop diameter should
be 21m
Go figure ! :-)
One detail to mention:
Yesterday, it rained. Not very usual here
and still not tested the loop with this Tx power and with wet terrace
It seems to me that my signals was better
than before. Could the wet terrace worked as a kind of reflector or
re-shapped the radiation diagram of the
horizontal loop making it more efficient for Dx ??
The loop is not equidistant from terrace
but keeps about 3 to 4 meter high, and just 1m on the feeding point

Hi Luis,
Ooh, very well! I'm glad that i received you the first time! Is it
really 2 mW ERP?
Oh and BTW it was in WSPR, the super mode!!!! ;-)

Even
with the loop we are on the way ;-)

Next in the list is going vertical. Coil and
variometer on the way. Keep tuned ;-)
Oh yes! Do it!!! :-) Looking forward to a QSO :-)
