Spent so long on op2 , just realises your OP8
OP8 -32dB Op31 -38 dB S/N Mean (not peak)

That is +20 dB over the s/n limit .. you should be ok down to
600 >> 60 >> .... 6 watts
Can you reduce to that level ?

600 Watt of Rf to 7m high Tee with Gnd loss about 80 ohms. I reckon
about -40dBi gain so call it a few tens of mW

Reaching Gary with +7 dB in hand , what is the carrier power ?
Be very interesting to see what the s/n would be from MAL
over similar range and similar path , with all that wire out
should be able to catch Andy's beacon into the +dB scale

Having had to modify a 137kHz source to be able to generate on-off
keying, I'm transmitting a signal using 2.048s symbol mode on 137420Hz
33% duty cycle (for now)
This is based around my PIC generator for the mode
Details at http://www.g4jnt.com/PIC_Opera_Source.pdf and
http://www.g4jnt.com/OperaBeacon.zip
As its an independent source, with no PC in the Tx chain - no IP
packets will be sent to t'web showing the details
and its definitely gettign out....
