Hi Stefan !
no, i was just using the master/slave scheme from LORAN systems as an analogy. As everybody on this reflector is familiar with it ;-) I guess the "master station " should be selected from a view of practicality. It needs a somewhat geographically centered position in EU plus some technical advancedness.
Looks to me as if u are in the bowl :-)
And yes, the northamericanos are doing this activity thing quite nicely, an european counterpart event would be a timely thing i guess. The kite antenna is intriguing but it is not a normal installation and requires lots of time and weather cooperation. I´d reserve that for TA attempts. Just too much effort for a regular thing to happen. The signals are so loud in EU on MF, even verticals of 10m height only produce enormous signals. I guess a wide audience can play that game.
On the other hand . TGIF !!!!

Hi Wolf,

No no, i don't want to be a master station. And others are no slaves at all. My signal may be one of the stronger ones :-) but this does not rise me in a higher position. Yes it would be interesting to see what is possible here in EU, an activity day like the Canadians do :-) Also it would help to announce it "officially", i.e. in the local radio magazines! But then this requires some planning :-) But it would be nice to do something with a kite again, when thinking about events :-)

Hi Stefan !
well, maybe it would be nice if You can coin an idea about a special activity hour on MF per week. It would be like in them ol` days when coastal radio stns checked into a circuit.
Just for the fun of it.
This evening Dk1IS, IK2DED,IK2CLB all with S9+ signals whooping on r-CW. No JT or WSPR needed by them ( no pun intended ) You could do the master station and call up "the slaves". Should be an interesting picture to see how far European stations could hear each other and what area can be covered.
