After the initial 2200m QSO with VE7TIL at 50km, I ran the QRSS beacon all night (during auroral condx) and received my first DX report from Dale in southern Oregon: http://www.orecal.com/argo/137573
The ground system here consists of a direct connect via a piece of #4AWG to the plumbling system entering my home. What Scott hasn't mentioned is that this essentially gives him the entire city of Va

On the 5th just a few hours before dawn "TIL" on 137Khz from Vancouver was received here in Oklahoma - around 2600 Kms. Laurence - this is terrific news! Scott's antenna is a true Part 15 Lowfer type
My overnight run on the watering hole found XDW almost making it (at the 400.8Hz marker)...spot on frequency... just a bit of the X missing. Time to rotate that loop to the n-w Laurence! First signs
Steve: I'm getting him solid for 24 hours straight - and the period of daylight is absolutely solid from sunrise until sunset . Mitch - what is the distance between you two? I'm not sure which way hi
I'll be running tonight on 137.5728 in QRSS3 mode at full (500W) power starting around 0400Z...presently running at 60W input.....any reports gratefully received on either signal . Still running on t
I've just completed a major overhaul of the antenna system making it larger and much higher. I've also just added a description of my LF setup to my website: http://www.imagenisp.com/jsm/2200mstn.htm

The beacon will be temporarily off from 0300Z-0400Z to attempt a crossband QSO at QRSS10. I will be running all night (unless it gets very windy) 0130Z - 1530Z on 137.573 QRSS30 with reduced dash/dot
Back to beacon mode QRS30 now. I just completed a fine crossband QSO with K0MVJ in Duluth, MN (approx 1400 miles). He was on 80m CW and listening on LF with an 8' loop pointed this way. We started at
