Wow ! In that case the setting up of a continuous
CW beacon in the style of the HF beacon chain stations but with longer "dashes
at 3 power levels will be a doddle for you and a great service to me and to
other non-professional amateurs .
For that matter a second tx repeater at
the other end of the band to retransmit "up 6900 "Kc/s so I can hear
myself coming back and adjust for best sigs would impress me. Add a
feature, that on receipt of a morse coded
signal (say rprt/rprt ? ) automatically gave
an rst report and you would become uncrowned king of 136 and help more of us
onto the band .
Let us know when it is up and running .. I
will gladly supply reports from Sussex by the Sea by day in summer and by night
from a transatlantic island in the winter.

for those who do not know what that
means. Licensed to operate from aircraft, ships, fixed
ground stations aeronautical or marine and
government establishments.
The morse test was at a speed of 25 wpm or 30 wpm
for the extra class and the duration of the test was for 15 minutes non
stop. The technical papers examinations required at least 60 percent pass but
most achieved between 70 - 90 percent.
To day the pass mark required is around 30
percent at university.
These statistics might upset even more people !!
