Yesterday I was unable to solder my connecting wire to my antenna effectively so today I bought a butane based soldering iron and used the mini blowtorch tough thoroughly solder the two wires together. I then went back to playing with the weatherfax. Boston was back on and much clearer than on Saturday – probably a combination of the antenna being outdoors, the soldering and reorientation of the antenna which is now more perpendicular to Boston. Connecting the radio back to by laptop I found I got much better fidelity by turning the microphone gain down.
Take a look at this pic. I’m impressed – hope you are.
