1/4  KW ?

Andy is talking about 1 watt dc feed to the PA and a short Ae , I thought 2000 kmt was good going for 1 watt

is it the  same  band ?

I occasionally put a beacon on the 180 kHz band with 250 Watts out and
have been copied in France and the Netherlands during the time each
night that Europe 1 is off.
No magic, about the same results as 137kHz except that 137 is quieter.

Graham,
Have a listen after dark, I seem to remember it was quite horrendous last
time I looked at that part of the spectrum. I will have another listen
tonight. I think the EU chaps wait until Europe1 has stopped Txing. Here is
one frequency I know of, extract from Joe's e-mail.
VO1NA, 184.509.3kHz
TX about 5 watts 0.4 amps to 100m wire at 15 m high.

Ok Gary,

Seems to  be  some quite big  gaps  in that  spectrum , big  enough  for
a  cw filter and  wspr signal to  sit  with  no  splash ?

Nb looks like someone has the  spam  filter -mal-adjusted- ?

Graham,
I have occasionally read mails on LF regarding U.S. 184kHz qrs beacons &
captures from Europe. Apparently there is a very powerful broadcast station in Europe on a near frequency which causes high qrm when on, I believe it is
"Europe1"

Lifted  from the  WSPR  web site  http://wsprnet.org/drupal/

1 watt and  15  mtrs  of antenna ,decoding  over  1148 kmtrs  , (best
round 2000k) seems to make the 137 attempts look a little 'coy with
somewhat  bigger power levels and  rather  large  arrays , (possibly
mal-adjusted ?)

Is this  a band  like 500  with  enhanced  propagation ?

WHAT IS THE  POSSIBILITY OF A  TA  DECODE ?

The frequency range is 160 to 190 KHz. This is most commonly known as
Part-15 operation ( under our FCC Part-15 rules ). The basics: Power is
limited to 1 Watt DC Input to the Final amplifier, and the antenna length
cannot exceed 15 meters, including the feed line,

(XR4TN  is the experimental  call  of  KU4XR)
