I use a separate antennas for both LF and HF
therefore when I work xband the HF station can break in anytime and let me
know how the LF signal is progressing, in fact I am working
Duplex.
This method avoids long transmission only to find
out some hours later that the signal faded out and it needs to be repeated. This
method worked FB for me last year, fortunately my signal did not fade out
and I had solid copy on 7025 khz normal cw. I find 7 mhz more suitable during
the late evening and night time across the pond, solid signals, whereas 14
mhz is too variable at this time of year.
I use a 2 ele quad on 7 and 14 mhz beaming to
N.America for this exercise and the vertical system on LF.
