Congratulations on getting your station operational. It's a long haul to FN31ls but we'll be watching!

Hello LF

 

I´ll start on monday the transmission tests from South America.

Unfortunately, Argentina is the only country with permission to operate at these low frequencies across South and Central America.

So, I do not expect someone to copy me in Europe because of the great distance and my humble station, but maybe there is some closest station that can give me a report.

I shall be testing using cw QRSS 60.  The transmission will be "LU" (too many dashs in my suffix)

Time between 02:00 to 03:00 UTC daily for a few days hoping to extend it later.

Frequency: 137,776

Ant: inverted L : Vertical 20 meters, Horizontal 3 wires 20 meters each spread 1 meter each and a top coil of 1,1 mHy.

Output power: 500 Watts.

Valve transmitter home-built. PA: a 4-400C tube.

My locator: GF05rn

If someone want to change my transmission rate, please let me know.

Very grateful for any report.

Thanks and regards to all.
