In the past I had noticed that my antenna detuned several kHz during rain.As it was raining last night (not a bit) I took the chance to do some antenna measurements using low power (25W input, about 15W output). Due to the bad SWR the antenna current was only 0.3A, estimated ERP about 20mW.At one moment I unintentionally started a CQ instead of giving a carrier (hitting the wrong button on the keyer) but decided to let it run while noting the measurement results in my "lab book". To my surprise I was called by Finbar (EI0CF) and had a nice QSO with him, receiving a 559 report. Condx on 500 last night seemed average to me.Conclusion: with a few Watt in a modest antenna (lazy-L, 11m high and 25m long) one can work 1000km (or more) in CW on 500kHz. 73, Rik ON7YD - OR7T |
