Long distance skywave reception of 1-watt Part 5 stations isn't that unusual during the winter
months. While the reception of Andy's WSPR signal at 1200 km looks like somewhat of a feat ... it
really wasn't. When Andy runs 'XR' in QRSS30 his signal is 'welding goggle' (bright) copy at my
location for most of the night. Other distant stations routinely copied here are 'SIW' in Illinois
at 1200 miles and 'WEB' in Texas at 2300 km and these are all over land paths. Propagation does seem
to favor N-S rather than E-W directions.

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 ?

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"

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)
