Recent messages indicate that some are running illegal power on LF and I
suppose with all the ex Decca high power amplifiers about this could be
possible.
There is also the case of illegal and unlicensed beacons on the 73 and
136 khz. band left running all night unattended.
Some G3 stations very verbal here have never been heard on hand send CW
to make a qso on LF.
It is surprising how a class A operator G3J.. and up to G3K.. could
forget the code because in those days it was mandatory to use morse for
the first year before being permitted to use phone.
Was there a special A class licence that did not need the morse code
test !!!!!!!!
People in glass houses ought to be careful before pointing the finger
and listening to third parties observations and measurements that could
in most cases be unrelaible.
My advice would be to tread carefully and look in your own back yard
before venturing to criticize
other fellow radio amateurs.
I understand a G3 amateur, cannot remember the call, is designing a
SUPER HIGH POWER LF amplifier for a match stick antenna and these will
go into production if there is sufficient demand and you have a 3 phase
ac mains supply. Think what would happen if these got into the wrong
hands, someone with a broom stick antenna or even worse someone with a
telegraph pole.
