HiStefan,
Yes, but 600m is VERY long! The wire even laying on
the ground I would expect to radiate quite well at 137 with that length! And how
many watts?? ERP??
I am sure 8970 would do well through the
ground at the sort of powers being spoken about. Probably ideal for
submarines, as Roger says!

Hi Chris,
But how do you explain that i have crossed
49.6 km with a 600m spaced earth electrode antenna on 8970 Hz? It was rather
summer time than winther (regarding QRN)! With the same antenna, my 137 kHz
signal was seen 20 dB above noise near Paris in DFCW-3!?????

Hi Mal,
Yes, that is what I had concluded years ago. No
harm in trying though!
Further to your previous e-mail to LF, looks to
me like beacons are now becoming the norm on 136/7kHz band and below. I have
no problem with that personally, indeed, I think it preferable to a QSO
taking forever! I woud like to see full idents though, no matter how
slow.
