Re: LF: Re: HE3OM Next Operation on 137.3 kHz

Hello Albert
So far, we have not measured the ERP, but we certainly have 1W :-) We are using a grounded variometer with tapped coil. And we resonate the earth choke of the isolated tower with a parallel C. A simulation of the tower and additional information and pictures you may find on my blog (in German): www.funkperlen.wordpress.com
or here (in French). Later you may also find our Logbook on this site. Here you may see more pictures.
We will try to grow the ears of the crocodile. But I will do also some crossmode CW/QRSS.

Thanks info Anton,

 

I will be QRV again, I have two questions: 1. what is your TX output power ? 2. what kind of matching network are you using ?     

I hope the crocodile uses some hearing aid this time.

Subject: LF: HE3OM Next Operation on 137.3 kHz

Hello all
Friday I will be at HE3OM again. I will arrive around 12:00 UT to heat up the shack and do some tests. From 14:00 UT to 22:00 UT I will be at the station. Modes: CW, Crossmode CW/QRSS, Crossband CW/KW (QSX announced in CQ call). No QRSS transmissions this time.
Skeds are welcome (Nighttime is reserved for DX). Skilled Operators are also welcome!

PS. I will bring an ICOM IC-765 Pro III as a receiver, as well as a computer for QRSS reception.
