Hi Toni,

Thanks about the weblink. Yes, 1 W ERP can be done with a QRP TX, supplied by a 9V block battery ;-)

BTW i just remembered your call from some HF QSOs i think. Do you have a digital logbook? Probably it was on 30/40/80/160m but somehow your call isn't strange to me :-) If so, your CW must be above 60 BPM and= so i want to do a fast QSO with you! This dream isn't realized so far since most LF CW OPs are rather seldom QRQ OPs :-)

Hi Stefan
Thank you for the info.

The site we will use is Sottens, where the last medium wave broadcast transmitter in Switzerland was shut down Dec. 31. last year.
I will probably not have to put a Kilowatt of LF into the 125m mast to get 1WERP, hi. Here some p= ics from the site.
I'm looking forward to have a QSO with you in good old CW.

Hi Tony,

We haven't had QSO before but i am looking forward with interest to your LF activity and hope to be QRV as well. I am using a 100m or 300m vertical antenna and i am QRV in regularly CW. You will hear my signal! :-)

I've used an ordinary 50 Ohm attenuator of 14 dB just to prevent overloading my 706 as i used a 100m vertical recently. But the AF signal levels were poor so don't forget your headphones, as i did ;-)= I will try a 50 Ohm band filter in the next test to prevent overloading by stations at 153 kHz and 129 kHz and all outside the band...

Good luck!

73, Stefan/DK7FC

Hi Mal
Thank you for the response. So I will take my attenuator box to the site, connect the mast to the RX and see what happens. It will be difficult to get a receiving antenna far away enough, and I hope we will not get to much QRM from the line running up the mast for the lights, or from something else. But I will have a lot of help there. Ham engineers and operators. May be some of them will get the LF virus and=A0 get in my footsteps. Soon I'll be back with more news about thi= s event and I'm looking forward with pleasure for our next CW QSO. Digital modes are not on the plan - maybe QRSS3 if there is a need for. 73 de Toni

BTW. For those who speak German: I will report about the event on my Blog: ww= w.funkperlen.wordpress.com
