Hi Hans-Joachim,
I do not disagree with your power level for WCC
and WSL, I was just commenting on the sheer power level used by these
stations, compared to the ususal 1 kw transmitters used at coast radio
stations. The 1996 Admiralty List of Radio Signals Volume 1, notes the
high power used by WCC and WSL. Many a time our own 1 kw transmitters had
sunk to 500 watts, before a new pair of output valves were fitted, but we
still managed to cover well out into the Atlantic by day and night.
Very best regards

Dear Finbar et AL;
THE POWER OF WCC and WSL I have taken from a 1959 list of coast and ship
stations, volume 1, coast stations.
Concerning a medium wave band, as stated on another occasion (DK8KWs medium
wave tx), we should choose a frequency sufficiently far from the 450 kHz to
468
kHz I.F. range of receivers, therefore I had pleaded for 410 kHz (or
somewhat
higher).
73 Ha-Jo, DJ1ZB
Stations like
Chatham WCC and Amaganset WSL, were mentioned, but their power levels
were
exceptional, just imagine 30-40 kw, a bit over the top , and to be
quite
honest, their signals never struck me as being that much more potent than
the rest.
How about a new band around 440 khz. After 136 khz it would be a
breeze.
