Wow ! In that case the setting up of a continuous CW beacon in the style of the HF beacon chain stations but with longer "dashes at 3 power levels will be a doddle for you and a great service to me and to other non-professional amateurs .

For that matter a second tx repeater at the other end of the band to retransmit "up 6900 "Kc/s so I can hear myself coming back and adjust for best sigs would impress me. Add a feature, that on receipt of a morse coded

signal (say rprt/rprt ? ) automatically gave an rst report and you would become uncrowned king of 136 and help more of us onto the band .

Let us know when it is up and running .. I will gladly supply reports from Sussex by the Sea by day in summer and by night from a transatlantic island in the winter.

for those who do not know what that means. Licensed to operate from aircraft, ships, fixed ground stations aeronautical or marine and government establishments.

The morse test was at a speed of 25 wpm or 30 wpm for the extra class and the duration of the test was for 15 minutes non stop. The technical papers examinations required at least 60 percent pass but most achieved between 70 - 90 percent.

To day the pass mark required is around 30 percent at university.

These statistics might upset even more people !!
