Well what difference 24 hr can make. I am on with a 13m vertical, 5 x 12m radials VSWR 1:1 30 turn coil base loaded.
Not using the TX I thought I would be, about 4 Watts peak going into the antenna.

Audio quite good clear, no distortion.

It might only be going 1/2 mile at a guess I need to do a bit of a range test at some stage.

A little win. Obviously a not very good antenna for these frequencies but it is an excellent match.
