> Hello LF-group,

> as Walter already told in his e-mail the German authorities have
> permitted a second experimental station to conduct propagation studies
> on medium wave. The station with the callsign DI2BO operates under the
> same technical conditions as DI2AG (440 kHz plus/minus 100 Hz, 9 W
> ERP). The QTH of this station is in Peine near Hannover in Northern
> Germany (JO52BH) with me, DK8KW being responsible.
>
> I will coordinate the test transmissions with Walter so that both
> beacons can be operated at the same time. To fine tune and tweak the
> station currently DI2BO is operating exactly on 440 kHz in plain CW.
>
> The station consists of a ship radio transmitter DEBEG 7121 with around
> 100 Watt output which puts about 2.3 Ampere into my 18 m high umbrella
> antenna with 5 top load radials. Theoretical this results in an ERP of
> around 5 Watt.
