Thanks for the report JD. It is running on a radiating dummy load 
basically from my EM-26 location, just for the local guys to be able to 
check their receivers. Drums up a little club activity for them to 
listen and not be afraid of MF/LF.

Besides I haven't completed the GPS locked multi mode transmitter. When 
that is done I will go to the big antenna, but probably on a schedule of 
some kind so as to allow you to listen :)

Still finishing up a few tid bits on the Xiegi X1M transceiver software 
(100 kHz.-30 MHz.) 5 watt QRP CW/SSB transceiver project, then I can get 
back to my regular projects.
