Thanks Dick,
that is what I took out of our previous exchange on FS, but I
am rather shaken to find that according to the signal
strengths received on a calibrated Datong/TS850 setup from a1t. 1m.sq aperiodic
loop at 2.2 and 3.3 kms range, the actual radiated power on 73 KHz is only
between 2 and 3 milliwatts! (Without using the Datong - effectively as a preamp
- the signal strength simply could not be measured)
This does not seem to equate with the distances on QSOs where
I was actually audible.
Regrettably no more tests can be made on 73 but when I get
back from holiday in Normandy at the beginning of August the whole business can
be re-addressed on 136.
That is assuming that keeping numbers 2 nd 4 grandsons
entertained during said 'holiday' leaves me in any fit state to do
anything!
73 de,
Ian MI0AYZ/GI8AYZ
