WOW - this sounds sensational !! A Part-15 beacon with less than 1W to a
miniature antenna, seen in Central Europe, amidst megawatt longwave BC
transmitters ... are you really sure?
Well, not really... In Canada, 160-190 kHz is similar to the US Part-15
as outlined in RSS-210. The restrictions of RSS-210 can be somewhat
relaxed with a "letter of authorsation". The TX output was 5 watts
with 0.40 A aerial current to a 100 metre wire.
To the true "Part-15" operators, do not be discouraged... the TA quest
has not _yet_ been acheived with 1 watt and 15 metres of antenna, but
I'm working on it!
Congrats to Hartmut. By looking at his capture long enough, I can see 4
N's.
Hopefully my LOA for 2200 metres will be updated soon. In the mean time,
I've been working on improving the frequency stability on 1600.
