Following my fire I have had to remove one of my masts - the one at the house end (see this picture for a rough idea of the old arrangement). Whilst I await the start of the repair work, I have made a temporary sloper out of the old top section, which runs from ground level at the house to 14m high. Adding an old loading coil brings the antenna to resonance on 136kHz (the taps for 500kHz have yet to be determined). The insulation is not good enough for transmitting, but it receives OK.
Stations so far received on 136kHz Opera32 are: DF2JP, PA0A and DF6NM.
