Content preview: After nearly 10 months of planning and work, I am able to make my first transmissions on LF! I am running 10 watts from the transmitter. EIRP is a bit less than the claimed 0.1 watt. I am having some difficulty which I do not yet understand. It could be the antenna (arcing), the coax, the amplifier (oscillating), the scopematch (lying) or some combination of these things. :) [...] Content analysis details: (0.0 points, 5.0 required) pts rule name description ---- ---------------------- -------------------------------------------------- X-Scan-Signature: 1f795a2ee1ecd56682b47ad11969b3d3 Subject: LF: TXing 2200m WSPR Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 2.63 (2004-01-11) on post.thorcom.com X-Spam-Level: *** X-Spam-Status: No, hits=3.0 required=5.0 tests=SUSPICIOUS_RECIPS autolearn=no version=2.63 X-SA-Exim-Scanned: Yes Sender: owner-rsgb_lf_group@blacksheep.org Precedence: bulk Reply-To: rsgb_lf_group@blacksheep.org X-Listname: rsgb_lf_group X-SA-Exim-Rcpt-To: rs_out_1@blacksheep.org X-SA-Exim-Scanned: No; SAEximRunCond expanded to false After nearly 10 months of planning and work, I am able to make my first transmissions on LF!

It could be the antenna (arcing), the coax, the amplifier (oscillating), the scopematch (lying) or some combination of these things. :) I can say that I do not trust the little amplifier. Mine clearly does not behave as the designer says it should, so it is suspect. I will leave WSPR running tonight for as long as things remain acceptably stable at this power level. I have a CW ID at the end of each WSPR transmission. If anyone can hear the CW, please let me know! 73, Paul N1BUG
