LF: CQ DX 500k

[g0mrf@aol.com]

Hi all.

 

Can anyone on the East Coast USA comment of the state of 501 -504kHz for transatlantic reception?

 

I have confirmed availability of a large field in East Sussex for this Sunday night for some portable operation.

 

If I have to select a frequency, then I may as well choose a clear one possibly in the mid - upper portion of the band say 503.1

 

One potential problem for cross band into Europe using Mals well established 7033kHz is the CQWW WPX contest. - So may have to go to 10MHz for that, or we do have 400W + 16 ele on 2m at 600 ft ASL which should be fine for ON / F / PA western DL.

Locator will be JO00EW near Dallington East Sussex.
Power 0 - 250 Watts, antenna dependent. - Aim +10dBW peak ERP

Main purpose of this trip is the antenna experiment, but it would be nice to make some CW / QRSS3 QSOs too.

Site location can be seen here.
