Hi Keith,

There are still a few people on 472 CW apparently, around 0800 on Sundays. I will see if the TGY2 will work there with my inverted L. The TX has a built-in variometer and was supposed to work into end fed wires on smaller naval vessels. My CR300 seems to work OK on 472 but I may have to make a loop aerial or an ATU for the receiver.
