All other attempts resulted in messages being returned. I have also been in Wales for a week so apologies for the delay. Test details: Earth base tests Sunday 14 March on 73 and 136. 920m base. Both frequencies using QRS 10 second dot period. Beacon G0AKN. Schedule. Times UTC. 0930 - 1200 frequency 71.85 kHz 12-30 - 14-00 frequency 137.05 kHz Attempting one-way record on 73 kHz (first overseas contact?). On 136 kHz - who knows? Location IO91LR Great Haseley, Oxfordshire (near Junction 7 of M40). Earth base orientation North-South. Directional properties unknown. 1000 watts into 920m base, wire at ground level (or below!). Impedance and current at 73 kHz and 136 kHz will be reported later when wire is in place. It is being laid for one day only across 3 fields, each belonging to a different farmer (which has complicated the issue). Would be grateful for any reports. 73 John Taylor G0AKN earth@wireless.freeserve.co.uk
