At some point in the near future I want to do more tests at very low power with a ferrite rod TX antenna. I have a small manual ATU which I can use.
The best bands to try is 40m or 30m. Best mode would be WSPR but I want to try FT8.

UPDATE 0830z: I have dug out the ferrite rod and ATU in readiness. Maybe tonight?
UPDATE 1628z: On 30m FT8 TX with the ferrite rod (vertical) matched via the Z match ATU. No ground.
UPDATE 1950z: Although plenty of RX spots, nothing on 30m FT8 with the ferrite rod, so I have decided to try 30m WSPR.
