Garry, Thanks for the report and capture. I tried to go out and check things at the base of the "T" antenna, but I would have been ankle-deep in water!! I think that my having placed the final and the loading coil / variometer in the middle of a bog possibly might account for EAR being "Old reliable". 73, J.B., VE3EAR LowFER Beacon "EAR" 188.830 kHz.
