Put iron pipe on the ground with the feedlines running inside. That 
should handle the tractor...hi hi

Hi Rick,

Good  to hear from you. This current shift thing (and for me, a resonant 
freq shift) took another turn toward the unusual,

yesterday, when the resonant freq changed back to where is was when I 
first turned the rig on three days a go.

Also the input current to the final, at resonance, went back up to where 
it was..... and is holding fast from

this morning's value to tonight's, even though there was a freeze-up 
after 4:00pm. Might be something weird

going on in the final so it's lucky I brought up the scope this trip. 
I'm hoping the problem isn't with the

loop wire, its self, and the insulation is worn where it contacts a tree 
limb. This isn't supposed to make

much difference at this low power. Another possibility is that the coax 
leading to the final is  damaged.

I must have run over it a 100 times this summer with the tractor (having 
chains on all tires) and a couple

of 1000 pounds of load in the bucket. The coax to the receiving antenna 
suffered the same abuse and a continuity check shows

that it is open.

I'll keep you posted.

Bill
