Yet more amateur VLF TXing from Italy

Near 8.27kHz is the frontier these days! News has come in of yet more tests from Italy close to this frequency by Riccardo. BTW Lubos is in the Czech Republic.

"Lubos,

many thanks for your report!
I'm testing the coil for long transmissions; I have observed, for my first time, that atmospheric conditions affects antenna current: for example, today it's been a sunny and dry morning, in fact I reach 625mA; in the afternoon the sky was so cloudy and I have measured only 570mA. Now the value is stabilized around 590mA (relative humidity's still high: 86%).
I'm preparing an EbNaut setup for next days: I will announce details soon."
