I think Mike said it well - Vertical current dropped steadily from 1.5 AMPS
to 0.5 Amps as the temperature rose and the sap rose in the trees.
Therefore - the antenna current in the vertical is inversely proportional to
the amount of sap in the trees. At least in my backyard !
By the way Bill and Eric, I am just transferring overnight captures from the
PC to the Mac and dropping on the web site. It will take another few minutes
but should be up by 11 oclock EST or so.
Looks like Bill is fine - though slightly depressed from "good" band
conditions, and I believe that is Eric just above - drifting in and out..
pretty good for that distance.
