Subject: LF: new here..little introduction
Hello all,
I am rather new on this list, and will give a brief introduction.
Living in the eastern part of The Netherlands, and being involoved in
radio for over 25 years now.
Licensed since 1989, first as PA3FJY but changed this a few years ago
to PA4VHF.
As the suffix suggests I was mostly active on 144MHz DX (EME, MS)
contest etc.
Also did a lot of listening mainly on 160m CW in the past.
Since my move to another house my transmission activety has been
very low, and I mainly listened a lot from my remote beverage location.
(no mainspower-220V there, so all by battery)
However, like so many others, when one gets the 'radiovirus', one will
never loose it.
In the past year I came across the NDB-beacon band (200-500kHz) ,
and had great fun listening there.
Distances amazed me more then once.
Well, from there it's just a little jump down to 136kHz.................
Meanwhile I have serious plans to become QRV on 136kHz the coming year.
A lot of information, and some materials as well, have been collected.
(like 31.5cm diameter PVC-pipe for the loading coils)
I hope to start with the first preparations soon.
One of the problems to overcome, is to find a QTH where I have mainspower
to feed the PA.............
I have no idea what happens when one feeds 400W into an toploaded
vertical á la EI0CF in the center of town........................
(a lot of houses within the range of the antenna, some less then 15m
away...)
Sofar I haven't seen any reports of interference caused by 136kHz stations
to consumers electronic devices.
Wonder how serious is the possibility of interfering in audio-equipement in
the
neighbourhood??
As soon as I am ready to transmit I'll let it know here right away.
At least my receiving capabilities on my beverage location are good.
(AR7030plus, with audiofilters down to 20Hz narrow)
