Hi Gene,
So your a rocket scientist!!!
I'm just a wiseguy!
I would reverse the connection on the ant primary. The diagram shows the top of the winding going to the ant post. Would also add some more turns say 25 total. Should be near the bottom of the secondary. You could add some C between the top of the pri and secondary like 10-50 mmfd.

Thanks Terry. You promoted me. I never considered myself a scientist; more like a wiseguy. I did enjoy my 35 years of employment.

I didn't say it very well but I did connect the top of the primary winding to the ant terminal. The top of the primary winding is next to the bottom of the secondary. I'll wind it in the same direction and put on as many turns as I can without overlapping. I doubt if I can put 25 turns on there but we'll see. A few mmf across the ant tuning capacitor should help.

Thanks again Terry. I look forward for to getting email that says I have a reply from the forum.

Take care,  Gene in Alabama
