[Lowfer] Good propagation last night

[Steve Sykes]

Hi J.B.
I am feeding it with a 9:1 transformer with the far end open.  I am 
planning to terminate with a resistor soon.  I will change the toroid 
for a binocular core at the same time. I am using RG-6.  I wish I had 
1200 feet  to put an antenna up.  I was getting a very nice image from 
your station yesterday. You can see it at

I did find out why Iceland is so strong here. They are not using the top 
loaded vertical  that was installed near the capitol in the 1930's. They 
are using the 412 meter former Loran-C antenna which is right on the 
shore in the west.  You must really hear them loud.
