Hey Mitch,

Are you sure all the signal isn't being picked by the "multiturn loop" you
have at the base?

Seems to me the vertical is there for show and to hold the "multiturn loop"
up from tipping over.<G>

After all you did tune the "multiturn loop"  to acquire best signal........?

I think I'm in deep doodoo now.
