Heinz,

Will the activity be just CW, or will there be QRSS?

===========

> Our local radio club will hold its annual fieldday on Saturday,
> October 8. This years main activity will be an activation of 136kHz.
> The operating site is a cottage out in the country. There is
> electricity but no telephone or internet.
> We have two transmitters with spare FET's available (G3YXM designs).
> Receiving equipment will include various bandpass filters,
> preamplifiers, a converter and commercial transceivers. The landscape
> at the operating site is mainly meadows (pasture for cattle) with
> plenty of old trees around. We plan to build a toploaded Marconi
> antenna. A vertical section of 15 - 20m and 100 - 200m in two opposite
> directions should be possible. We have a loading coil wound on a rain
> barrel and test equipment for resonating the antenna.
> We will start at about 0700UTC and operate until the evening hours.
> The fieldday activity is centered on this one day, but as long as the
> antenna stays up we might continue working longwave during the week
> and the following weekends. It certainly will not be a permanent
> installation. Callsigns on the air will include OE5EEP, OE5ODL,
> OE5PGL, OE5MW and possibly some others.
