I made my first MW transmission... about 100m with very bad sound quality and problems.

Things.... can only get better.......

I am struggling in a sea of tangled long copper wires and very little to show for it.

I hammered a bit of copper pipe 1M into the ground.

I have a tapped coil now so might be able to get a better match.. it is very labour intensive radio for 100m flea transmission.

I would like to make a Sandpaper 27 antenna like that zozo guy. They don't make them any more.

I think the problem is the current centre is on the ground, that might be ok in a field with 80 x 45m long radials.
