Hi Chris:
Just finished the wiring of the Tuning unit - so tomorrow will go out and 
look for the ends of the loop and see if I can connect things up.

The 185 kHz was 1 watt - using the NPN-PNP final as shown on John's site ( W1TAG).
The loop I used was the 137 kHz loop. 120 feet horizontal and 50 ft verticals.
On 137 I was using my G0MRF200 watt transmitter - same antenna.
Let's hope you get better copy this week as we get back on the air.

Thanks for the "grabber" - it really makes a difference - as it can be used
for antenna, frequency, and power adjustments - and see almost instant results.  It is much
appreciated.

P.S. I am sending direct  a pic of the tuner - just before wiring.
