I've spent a lot of time tinkering with the antenna trying to optimize field 
strength. It's driven home the point that I need a better way to measure 
antenna impedance, antenna current, etc.. Also need to work on the matching 
network a bit. But for now, what it is is what it is.

I'd appreciate anyone who has the time giving a listen at around 172.945 kHz 
+/- a bit. The xmitter is being keyed at QRSS-30.

Next project is to finish the divider that will let me move up to the watering 
hole frequency. But this is all I've got time for right now.
