Thread-topic: LF: No 2200m TX tonight
when I visited Peter G3LDO used to see that dim “glows” under near darkness there was very dim arcing between windings or groups which you couldnt see clearly unless completely dark - slow changes over time as things warmed - no short term jumps in tuning either. He was pretty close to the ocean so that didnt help either

Hi Paul,

sorry to read that. Have pity on the poor FETs!

You mentioned that the antenna resistance is gradually decreasing (i.e. improving) during longer transmissions. I often see that effect here, with the current rising by say 20 % during the first few minutes. I've put it down to moisture or dew around the coil and insulators (tiny little polycarbomnnate pencil tubes), which evaporates as things warm up. It is more prominent during cold damp weather, and much more so with the very high antenna impedance at VLF than at LF.

Good luck,
Markus

No transmissions from me this night. The little amplifier has died.
I think it may be related to this resistance change in the antenna
which is getting worse and worse.

I'm going back to MF for this night, sorry!

73,
Paul
