Subject: LF: CW bacon on 136.5 kHz starting 7 UTC

Hi LF,

Today, 7 UTC i will start to run a CW bacon on 136.5 kHz which will run for the whole day.

Reports welcome.

The recent idea to run such a bacon over the xmas days resulted in a very high feed back. Not sure if it has to do with the bacon but there appered several new stations since these days on MF in CW(!).

There was a discussion about LF / CW too. I know that e.g. I5EFO already did some tests.

Well, at least a few may listen to the low frequency transmission i expect. It is also a nice effect to mention the reporting stations in the bacon text so each SWL (or LWL) get's an impression who is listening at all...

TX and Antennna is prepared, SpecLab running, PTT (RTS line) will be activated 07:00:00 UTC...

PS: Just did a test with a frozen loading coil. The antenna current was high!
