I checked the transverter oscillator was working and power was being produced into a dummy load, but there is no current showing in the antenna current meter. Maybe the fault is with this?
So, I tested the transverter connecting it directly to the earth-electrode "antenna" in the ground (no matching transformer). Every TX period I received 4-7 spots per TX period. My ERP is at most 10mW, probably far less.
Furthermost was 209km.

Hi Roger,
Glad your transmit is working saw you were getting spotted on WSPRmap, but I've noticed your not spotting anyone. Are you only on TX only tonight or TX/RX. Is your noise floor quite high tonight?
Think a few stations have closed down now, as I have been spotted by 20 stations tonight and best spot was 1638Kms by OH3LMN/RX.

Hi Roger,
I was very pleased to see your signal tonight on MF, quite remarkable with the earth-electrode antenna and QRPp. I would guess the fault is most likely the current meter.
