The frequency was varying so much on Argo, that I wasn't sure whether this was genuine CW. Didn't see a call sign, but perhaps didn't watch long enough. My first thought was that it might be an illegal use of the band to send coded messages. It might be better to send a repeating clear text message especially in the present climate. 73, John, G4CNN -----Original Message----- From: "Dave Sergeant"<dsergeant@connectfree.co.uk> To: "rsgb_lf_group"<rsgb_lf_group@blacksheep.org> Date: Thu Oct 11 09:06:56 PDT 2001 Subject: LF: Re: GB3LF >Walter Blanchard wrote:>>I put my Marconi TF2008 sig. gen onto 137.5 kHz and fed a measured 100 >>milliwatts RF into my inverted-L antenna.
