Well, I am all for it..

Now that we (PA) are kicked off of 500 KHz (again!) I needed another 
challenge. So 136 KHz it is.

I have already built a PA for 136. My design is for > 1KW, I have only 
tested it at 650 Watt as my current power supply cannot handle more, and the 
same goes for my dummy load.

But I do have a 50 Volt 1.2 KW supply that should do the trick.

I do not think QRP is an option on 137 KHz - especially with my antenna (Mal 
wil probably concur :-) )

Next step is building a variometer (3.5 to 4 mH), and the mixer/driver so I 
can use my ft817 like in the 500 KHz setup.

Don’t expect met to appear on 136 any time real soon however, unformtunately 
I do not have much time at the moment to complete the project. My target is 
the end of August.



For those interested: I have created a quick and dirty webpage with some 
info abt my experiment:
