Dear all,

Assuming that we're sticking to 1W erp then what does it matter how big the
antenna is as long as the power is sufficient to  give the required erp?

CFH peaks 33dB above the noise regularly (in 100Hz filter). If its erp is
around 8kW as rumoured then a 4W erp signal would be on the noise level,
normal good copy, and a 1W signal would be 6dB down. No problem for
Spectrogram.

There is a VE station building for the band and he intends to try some tests
next "fall" from VO1. That should do it!
