Hello Andy, It was interesting reading the description of the half square antenna you made, particularly the comments on the comparison between vertical and the half square. Being unable to hear European stations may partly explain why, when conditions do improve a little, I always keep seeing the same PSK stations from the US, and the ones which can see me on their screens are most often very weak to my QTH
Considering the huge number of PSK users in the US I've often wondered if my R5 is "deaf", or lots of US operators are using wet string ! Regards, Mel G0GQK
