Apparently VE3WXB in Ottawa received my signal last night and gave 578 report!
Cool!
I've made modifications to the tuner (beefier varicaps now) and made it possible to switch between two different transmitting loops. My receiving antenna is now independent (horizontally stretched out clothesline, I pulled down the non-functioning loaded dipole).
I'll be testing again Tuesday night 10:30 pm EST (Toronto time) at 3560 and my receiver will monitor 3700 for any AM/SSB feedback.
