BEACON ON 136.150 KHZ

I have put on air an LF beacon, running H24, on 136.150 khz. This is of a temporary nature and the frequency can be shifted to accomodate those who have a problem with their xtal freq transmitters or who have local reception problems.

I would very much welcome reception reports on these transmissions, my callsign, EI0CF, is repeated continuously.

Checking with other LF operators, my transmit power has been increased from low power to medium power on this test. Antenna current is 2 amps.

The rig is my normal Mosfet one, running with a much lower voltage. There are a pair of IRFP450 in the final.

Loading coil inductance is 1200 uH.

NOTE. This transmitter uses a vfo, so there will be a certain amount of drift, but I have set it up with a freq counter and I will try to keep the transmitter running on this declared frequency. Initial drift took it up to 136.156 khz but it seems to remain quite close to 136.150 khz.

Once again, I will be delighted to hear from those who can hear this transmission and under what circumstances they are receiving it.

Best regards

Finbar EI0CF Malin Head.
