Well, I
lied in the title to grab your attention, but for those
that don't know,
the RSGB HF Convention next weekend
includes much for those interested in
136kHz.
This includes a lecture on 136kHz propagation by Alan,
G3NYK; a Getting Started talk by me and an update on the
MB7LF remote
receiver project.
Day tickets are apparently still
available.
What I don't know is whether there is an LF station being
set up (Crawley club?).
Hello Mike / group.
Yes, there will be an LF demo station.
The equipment is being provided by the Crawley club - Including a " 100
foot tower" and a Decca transmitter 1kW (ish) transmitter.
As Derek G3GRO and the chaps are also setting up the HF station and
performing other duties around the convention, I think I'm listed somewhere as
LF station operator.
Setting up will be Friday afternoon with operation through the
weekend.
I would be particually interested arranging a period of attended operation
late Saturday evening, after the Gala dinner / Sunday morning to see if we
can turn a few of these transatlantic reception reports into a QSO.
- ERP will be at the UK limit. VO1NA - ??
For anyone attending the HF Convention, I will be bringing assembled and
tested 136kHz pre-amps and 3C90 toroids in 25, 42 and the
large 58mm sizes. I also have T-157 and T200 iron dust toroids in the -2
material.
Perhaps we can consider this an 'activity weekend'?
more details later
