First US 137kHz QSO. John Andrews W1TAG
(experimental license WD2XES) and Warren Ziegler K2ORS (WD2XGJ) had the first
two way Part 5 QSO in the U.S. at 0200 Friday November 12 on CW. They
are about 25 miles (40km) apart and both stations used transmit loop antennas.
John was running 200W with a homebrew exciter into a Hafler audio amplifier and
Warren 250W with a G0MRF Class-D switching transmitter.
Warren's receiver was an HP 3586C selective level meter and John used his
ICOM R75. Jay Rusgrove W1VD (about 100 miles South in CT) made an MP3 of the
QSO: http://www.advancedreceiver.com/capture/XESXGJ.mp3
