Hello to all LF`ers,
on Wednesday, 24th of July, the 153KHz transmitter of
Deutschlandfunk in Donebach (JN49ON, 50Km SSE of Frankfurt) will be off air due
to scheduled maintenance. By the friendly cooperation of the site personnel and
with consent of the regulation authorities, a small group of German LF amateurs
has been granted access to one of the 360m masts between 7:00 and 15:00UTC. With
a little luck we might be able to achieve about 30dB more radiation efficiency
than at home.
We will probably need some time to
work out the impedance matching. After that, we intend to operate preferably in
CW and Slow-CW modes. As we expect a rather high noisefloor from the Frankfurt
area, we will bring along a tuned loop for receiving, and we will be QRV on
7030KHz in CW as well. If nothing else works, please give us a phone call on+49
174 3692499, or send an email note via the reflector or to [email protected] or [email protected].
Let`s look forward to a successfull
day, hopefully without thunderstorms or strong noise.
