Well, I am all for it..
Now that we (PA) are kicked off of 500 KHz (again!) I needed another
challenge. So 136 KHz it is.
I have already built a PA for 136. My design is for > 1KW, I have only
tested it at 650 Watt as my current power supply cannot handle more, and the
same goes for my dummy load.
But I do have a 50 Volt 1.2 KW supply that should do the trick.
I do not think QRP is an option on 137 KHz - especially with my antenna (Mal
wil probably concur :-) )
Next step is building a variometer (3.5 to 4 mH), and the mixer/driver so I
can use my ft817 like in the 500 KHz setup.
Don’t expect met to appear on 136 any time real soon however, unformtunately
I do not have much time at the moment to complete the project. My target is
the end of August.
For those interested: I have created a quick and dirty webpage with some
info abt my experiment:

He seems to be new on the band. No other stations visible in the moment.
Surely it would be a positive impulse if new stations could get some
QSOs. This could start a positive spiral of activity. It's up to us...
DL6NN in JO30VC, OM Lutz. 99km distant to me, 250km to DF6NM.
73, Stefan/DK7FC, still in QSO
