[Elecraft] New rig, so sigs

[Iain Haywood]

Thanks for that, I'm sure your right. It all works fine it seems, just 
no activity on my bit of wire. I am in a bit of a hollow here also, 
doesn't help.
I shall concentrate on a decent antenna and keep fingers crossed.
As I say, never yet experienced a solar minimum when active so unsure am 
to the current coditions, got Hamcap installed and checking WSPR to get 
an idea.

Tnx for the help.

Unfortunately you chose the wrong day to test out your new rig. HF
conditions are diabolical at the moment, with a low solar flux and K
index of 3-4 due to geomagnetic storming. Very little here on any band
other than 40m at the moment, and not much activity there either.
Probably your rig is not faulty...
