As my son managed to sever my earth-electrode "antenna" whilst doing some gardening for us, I am again using the coax to my 2m big-wheel loaded with a ferrite rod "ATU".
The antenna is under 5m at its highest and the coax only 50cm above ground at it lowest just outside the shack. I am just using the mains ground. The coax is under 10m long.
So far this evening on 160m FT8 RX 19 stations spotted with the furthermost UA1OLM (2653km).
UPDATE 2002z: 83 stations spotted this evening on 160m FT8 RX with the furthermost RW4PU (3416km).
UPDATE 2115z: 140 stations spotted so far this evening on 160m FT8 RX.
UPDATE 2300z: Staying on overnight.
