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
