Loops are for RX on 137 Kcs unless you can erect a 1 wave loop for the
desired frequency and use a vertical for TX like JA7NI then you might hit
the jackpot

Subject: LF: TIL Grabbed in Japan!
After months of tests and improvements to both of our stations we have
demonstrated the reciprocal ability to copy each others signal.
Kuni JA7NI, copied traces of VE7TIL's test signal today after setting up
a grabber which can be viewed here by clicking the 'grabber' link:

TIL plans to increase the efficiency of his transmitting loop and
improve the power handling ability of his tuner so power can be
increased to obtain the 1W EIRP limit. TIL estimates the ERP of last
nights tests at or lower than 160mW.
Meanwhile, NI plans to install a large RX loop when weather conditions
cool down in JA to improve reception over his 110m beverage optimized
for 160m DXing.
Congratulations to Kuni!
