I must agree with Art, I think you have displayed a complete lack of

Gentlemen
I tuned my antenna this afternoon for 1.9 Mhz where the S meter was
regesting S9 noise.
Put a sheet of aluminium under it and the noise stayed at S9
Now I need to put a sheet of aluminium on the top of it to form a
capacitor
but that I can't do by myself as I need another pair of hands to rest
it on the top.
Hopefully my niehbor will show his face sometime in the next couple of
weeks so I
can complete the experiment. I made the antenna as large as I could
so when
it is inbetween the two 8 X 4 sheets I will see a difference in
signal.
Time to mow the grass for the last time and empty the gas tank for the
winter.
