Subject: LF: First Western Canadian 2200m QSO!
> I am pleased to announce the first western Canadian contact on the 2200m
> band! The QSO was completed yesterday on 137.754 kHz. ( July 10th) between
> myself, VE7SL (Mayne Island, BC - CN88) and Scott Tiley, VE7TIL
(Vancouver,
> BC - CN89), a distance of approximately 50km.
>
> At the time of our initial two-way QSO, Scott's transmitter consisted of a
> homebrew DDS exciter using a Darlington-pair final running about 1W
output.
> My transmitter was also homebrewed, using a crystal controlled exciter
into
> a single FET amplifier at 100W out. Both of us used similar antenna
systems
> for transmitting, a loaded three-wire flattop 'T' . On receive, both
> stations used small backyard loop antennas.
>
> Being the only 2200m activity west of Ontario, it is hoped that our
efforts
> will stimulate more interest in LF on the west coast and western
provinces.
> As well, we are both working towards improvements in antenna systems and
> increased power levels for the upcoming winter season.
