[Lowfer] TAG, FINALLY !!!!

[Gedas]

GM John, 4CX5000's for the main antenna ???  I thought you used a pair 
of those as your driver !  Now I'm confused LOL <g>.

Anyway, it sure made my evening. The vertical now hears better on all 
signals vs. my 36T tuned passive loop. Also, I stayed up till 3:00 AM 
and for the first time was able to easily hear JJY on 40 kHz and hear 
the CW ID w/o any effort. It is esp hard for me since I have a birdy 
EXACTLY on that frequency that beats against a weak JJY that always led 
me to believe I was hearing JJY but in fact I was not.

Here is a 1 min video of JJY with the CW at the end:

Light travels faster than sound.....
This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.
