Thanks, that was a good field trip in the best amateur radio
tradition.  Ironic how we are at the same time using the most
hi-tech, but also the simple batteries, kites, wires, big coils, etc
that Marconi would have been quite at home with.  It is a nice
mixture.

What is the exciter you are using - the silver box with the LCD
display?

And when the kite is up and tied to the car, and the wind picks up,
how do you pull it down again - do you have a winch - or a knife?

Your website mentions improvements for the next run, what do you
have in mind?

Sorry, only about 16km - so far!

Perhaps the authorities can issue shorter callsigns for QRSS
300 operation?   Practically, send the callsign rapidly for
station ID, then slowly send one or two random code letters to
constitute a message which can be verified for record purposes.
DX receivers may cheat by looking at online spectrograms
of course!   FSK should be better than simple keying.

Signals should go a lot further, but the rx has a torrent of
sferics to deal with.  We will have to see.

I think the ERP is about the same power as a small LED,
or less?  Amazing to think that is detectable 850km away.

A puzzle is the excess signal strength, further independent
rx measurements are required.

If anyone is transmitting from home (uQRP?), I can set up very
long non-coherent averaging (days?).  That is something else
to try for someone.  An alternative to sending messages serially
is to send data bits in parallel, multi-frequency, the whole
message received in one long averaging.   Many things to try!
