Bi Bob,
These are good frequencies for me and worked well for Larry's transmissions
last season. The Luxembourg effect simply appears as white noise spots, which
cause no problem.
The Window to Europe is probably going to be very small, so may be a problem to
recognise sufficient characters, but best to start with very long dots.
A bearing would help, so that I can make sure my loop is pointing in the
optimum direction.
Good luck.

Subject: LF: ZL6QH 136 tests
Hi all,>
ZL6QH tried out the 136 kHz band yesterday afternoon, and got good reports from around
New Zealand. It can therefore be expected that all night tests will be possible on 1
and 15 December. Both are Saturday nights in New Zealand, but we are 13 hours ahead of
UTC (heading into summer, down here :-). The radiated power is likely to be in the range
of 1 to 5 watts. Information on sunrise and sunset "windows" will be posted to
the reflector nearer to December.
The preference is for ZL6QH to transmit near the top of the band, with 120
second dots, 0.4 Hz shift DFCW, so the frequencies would be 137.7900 and
137.7896 kHz, with stability of better than 0.1 Hz. Those frequencies are just
a little above those used by VA3LK.
Are there any comments from European potential listeners as to viability of the
nominated frequencies?
73, Bob ZL2CA
