I have a 1 watt beacon operating on 175 KHz. and will be putting up

This is not very modest by UK standards. My garden is 35 x 90'
and I can still put up a useful antenna for 136kHz. It requires some
ingenuity - I am using a loading coil at the top of the mast, for
instance - but I am not the only G to put out an LF signal from a
small garden. The real secret is height - if you get to 50 feet plus it
will work well.
