I wanted to show my very skinny loading coil on this reflector, but I can only ask you to look at it on my QRZ page https://www.qrz.com/db/w0yse For that picture I removed the PVC pipe that covers it from the elements.

The rain here has 'dampened' my TX operations today ahead of a BIG snow storm that arrives later this afternoon. My SWR when sky high overnight but the amplifier is still working.... My top loading wires that lie on the rood shingles are greatly affected by the weather.

As far as my reception goes, here is the F1 activity that I captured overnight on my W-loop in the attic:

On WSPR I received only these stations:

4 spots:
