Hi Al, no I never took the Amature or the PMG exam, I was young and got distracted, not taking the exam is something I always regreted but there we go.
My aerial (brace yourself) consists of various strands of this and that twisted together to give approx 30 ft it comes out of the top of the window (single story) through a Budliah Bush and then hangs on a nail on the back of one of the outbuildings, its average hieght above the ground is 6 ft approx....'nough said...could do better, will do better, maybe after I have relplaced the roof (next big job) any long distance DX I have received so far at this location has mainly been on the Grey Line especially South America. We are not far from the sea, I don't know if that has anything to do with reception. Since you replied I have plumbed in the 6AC7 as an RF amp which seems to have dispersed the Miller effect!.
