LF: ve1zz

["MAL HAMILTON" <MAL@g3kev.freeserve.co.uk>]

Merry Christmas to all experimenters on LF.
Unfortunately I am otherwise engaged at present and cannot participate with
the VE1ZZ experiments, but now that he is being heard in EU by several
amateurs a two way qso on 136 must be imminent. He has the advantage with a
large antenna and good erp. In EU with a good high vertical antenna
launching the 1W erp and preferably a good rural QTH or even better a QTH in
Ireland, it is possible.
Except you are extremely lucky the chance of being heard in VE/W with the
average 40 ft vertical or low long wire is nil. These antennas are fine for
a few hundred miles around europe but for long haul the big antenna is the
secret.
