John,
Thanks for looking last night.
I just got back in from working on the ground system.
I put down a 24 foot diameter circle of copper wire.
30 12 footers around the circle.
Also attached all the rest of the radial I already had.
The antenna measures 18 Ohms, and 230 PF.
Significant improvement. If you could look again I would appreciate it.
I am going to try to get a matching transformer out there before dark.
Thanks John

Paul,
After looking through a night's captures of V's, L's and F's, I guess
this one from 0520 UTC looks the closest to a complete callsign:

Some of the various letters overnight were very bright and clear, but
it's tough to get a complete callsign at this frequency without some
holes punched in it.
Anyway, the DX in this case was 73 miles.
John Andrews, W1TAG
