That's interesting Steve - will give it a try tonight -
I tried some of the older "clear channel" xmtrs here - like WJR Detroit @ 760 and 740 Toronto ( ex CBC ).
Certainly no standard among them..... but I guess a a hertz or so each way is no big deal when you're
running 50 kW. WJR was 798.89 and 740 Toronto was 801.27 ( both at QRSS30.
Will be adding another vertical element to the loop ( about 90 feet straight up) and hope that
improves the radiation for the Winter.
Are you permanently on the island now ? or still commuting ?
Later
Mitch
