Nearly every 500 Khz operator that I communicate
with seems to have a Noise problem on Receive, therefore in order to overcome
this common noise complaint I would suggest a request to OFCOM for an increase
in ERP at the TX end to 20W erp. This hopefully would give a better signal over
noise at the RX end.
I recently conducted some tests by reducing my
TX erp until the signal disappeared into the noise at the RX end and
was surprised by how much power was needed to overcome this noise
problem. I checked two UK grabbers as well and and the results
were poor.
The mode used was normal CW.
