[Lowfer] XFX QRO more - top hats and tales

This is great stuff Eric and proves that your Ra ohms must be pretty lowish. 
The lower temps here (20's) and the snow have improved things here even with 
a reduced earth system, and we are at 3.5A for around 380W input. With the 
temps dropping towards zero it will be interesting to see what happens to 
the tuning.

This link maybe known already but someone was looking at the affect of using 
sloping guys as part of the top load. I strongly recommend looking at Riks 
web site - its a gold mine.

Havent checked then overnight captures for NA and XFX but again on the drive 
in, nada, on all amateur radio bands, and virtually no bcast signals either 
on HF.

always the worst.
