Hello Laurie,
No, you're right!
A challenge is what it will be, this is experimental radio after all,
and I'm winding myself up to get involved. I just love the idea of
keeping 500kHz alive with hand keyed CW.
Will try to get a pre-amp built for the RX loop over the weekend. I
suppose a first test would be if I can RX any NAVTEX (is it still on
518kHz?).
Once I've managed to receive some signals from other amateurs I'll look
at applying for the NOV.
Cheers,
John GM4SLV
