I agree with with Rik and others that we should try some form of freq shift. Its one thing to be seen, but far better to get some information across! I have modified my driver and will transmit DFCW tonight ,using 48sec. elements,24sec. inter-element spacing and 0.15Hz shift. Lets see how that works! Regarding the extra dbs, I am only running 350mW so theres 4.5 db to be obtained from a 1W station.The other thing is what about a Loop Rx ant.? that should give a few dbs improvement in S/N due to directivity. By the way do we have some form of record in terms of miles per watt? Hi. Tuesday is fine its in the diary. I hope some others will join us. 73s Laurie.
