The best way to find out wether we can cross the pond on 136kHz is to try
it. What I have in mind is a transatlantic test, similar to what we did
last year in cooperation with N4ICK, but with a much larger group of
listeners at the W/VE side. There are plenty of 'lowfers' in USA/Canada
that are well equipped for listening in the 160-190kHz segment, it should
not be too hard for them to adapt their receivers/antennas to
136kHz.
Yes, but first things first. I have not yet found a US station who has
confirmed hearing DCF39. Amateur signals are going to be some
70dB weaker.
Let's hope that last weekend's tests produced just such a report.
