Is there likely to be much interest in my 503kHz beacon or is it worth looking at replacing it with a 137kHz WSPR one?    Its been mostly off air for a couple of weeks while the antenna was rebuilt as a dual purpose fat HF dipole / top loaded Tee - and I still haven't got round to optimising the pre-matching for the HF bit yet.

 

However, it does now resonate  at 503 and 137kHz and its tempting to put a low duty cycle WSPR signal on over the winter period using the 700 Watt switchmode PA which has been sitting idle for a few years now.  However,  a new lower power beacon Tx may be more acceptable - especially to my electricity bill.
