LF: Re: 472kHz FT8 QSO?

I do not want to shatter your windows, make sure you have triple glazing!!!!! even in Zandung Chum Shack providence. Working VK stns every night here on MF/160 as early as 1900 utc.

Moderate power but Antennas are the secret, there is no substitute for airborne copper floating in the sky.

 

gl on your travels de mal/g3kev

Hi Mal

 

I’m working at the minute and my MF antenna is feeding a HF set.     I’ve got a long work trip coming up too.  You can expect me back on air around October and from end November once my boss stops sending me round the world!!

 

 

 

with best regards

After the success last night on 472kHz WSPR (10mW ERP) with the earth-electrode "antenna" in the ground, I may try 472kHz FT8 this evening.

 

If you fancy a try please give me a call on FT8. I shall try 472kHz FT8 this evening probably after 1800z. I'll call CQ probably.
