Re: LF: Sunday activity report

Hi Jim,

2a of loop current sounds like about 2 or 3 watts power if he is running something like an Ashlock loop made out of about 1-2mm wire. But 15 miles away should have pegged your S meter. I can take 700 milliwatts and go out to 162 miles and hear it easily by the ear in CW using a Ashlock loop. Can you describe his loop and loop tuner box?

Dear Dave, LF Group,

I worked Brian G3YKB yesterday - his QTH is Watford, about 15miles from
here, and he said at the time he was running 2A into his loop (didn't get
the size) aiming north-east, so perhaps not suprising I could only give him
an S4 report, and he was not detectable at G3YXM. I heard him testing again
today, and seemed to be stronger, so he has obviously got the current up.

Cheers, Jim Moritz

Yes it was good fun.

Thanks are due also to Chris G3XIZ who was plugging away all afternoon too
(whilst I was decorating the bathroom... With paint!) he eventually worked
G3YKB? Who I couldn't see any trace of, so there's another to look out
    

for,
  

unless it was a crossband?
See you all, and maybe a few more? Next week.
