Just odd times at this point, but I do post them here. Assuming that the
ionosphere continues to settle down, I may run it again in a couple of
days.
The antenna is is a vertical loop with 100 watts or so, representing quite
a
challenge for TA. The terms of the experimental license do not allow for
Amateur QSO's, so this is a one-way proposition.
Hi John
Had u been active this morning, I think I would have hrd/seen ur signal.
VO1NA was solid with me early morning and into daylight, 160 was good also
to W5 and W7 plus a few East Coast stns.
Worked a few this past cple of mornings NO2R, N4PN, W8FJ, K2TS, WD5R, K5BG
and VE3ZI.
I have wkd a number of W6 and W7 and KL7 stns on this band over the years.
I have been busy lately with other things and just got back to 137 khz a
couple of days ago. I got a msg from Bill also
I am still using the vertical system as described before for TX plus RX and
the loop for RX only. The loop is optimum EAST and WEST. I should have no
trouble hearing sigs from the USA given the time to listen and watch hi
cul and tnx info.
