[Lowfer] PBO back on the air

[rick kirby]

Hi All,

 

 PBO is back on the air 24/7 on 187.2 khz  ( or so )  running QRSS60. I have
changed antennas .I am no longer using a loop.

 I am using a 40' vertical with a 10' top hat. The antenna capacitance is
190 pf . I built a 14"  air  wound loading coil with a 6" variometer  which
gives 2.6 to 4.6 mh .

 I am not expecting much from this setup .I live on a mountain of clay and
shale .I have 20 radials out in lengths from 35 to 100 ' and 4 of them are
terminated in 

 Ground rods. I am still measuring over 200 ohms of resistance with the
bridge at 187.2 khz . I will add more radials and ground wire throughout the
season. I just 

 Want to see if I am condemned to use a loop
