From Pascal, F5PNP....

   I'm a very, very newcomer in the world of LF...I visited a lot of sites
on internet to collect some informations about the activity, and plan to
built the little transmitter from GW4ALG (the marathon...)when i will find
the way to change the 3c85 core by another one...hi !!! ('cause impossible
to find it in FRANCE...)....
  I prepare also a little converter (10.136mhz/136khz), because i think
that with only the FT847 direct on 136khz, and a dipole on 40 m, it 's not
the right way to hear something on this band, or am i wrong ??????
   I prepared also a "DF3LP COAX LOOP" to use during my holidays between
july and august in south west FRANCE.
Does anyone use this little antenna wit succes???   (2.20m diameter...)....
    Talking about holidays, i think it would be very interesting to have a
decametric frequency to know in real time if somebody is cqing on 136khz,
like the VHF NET on 14340 MHZ....WHY NOT A 136KHZ NET ????...or if this
already exists, witch frequency do i use ?????.....
   Another and last question, which may be evident for expert, but not for
me although the photographs.... In a variometer, the coil inside is put in
serie between the two outer coil of the variometer; or we build first the
outer coil, and then, we connect the inside coil in serie to terminal...???
(i don't know if i'm not a little too complex...!!!!  hi!!!)...
  please excuse my bad english language....best 73's to all, good dx, and
hope to hear you soon on 136khz...Pascal...
