LF,

Once again i'm transmitting DFCW-90 on 136.172 kHz over the night. The TX is already on air...

In a few days the sunshine time is as long as possible here, so it may be a bit difficult to become visible in TA. But who knows...

At least the summer time allows excellent results on LF for distances below 3000 km. Probably because the area in darkness is small on the northern hemisphere and so the noise from far away is attenuated. So the distances within the first hop range may be a bit lower than in winther but maybe the noise is even lower so S/N improvement of some dB results. At least i've never been audible in winther at YO/4X1RF. We've done many tests and the radiated signal was even 3 dB stronger than a few days ago where the signal became audible. Now i'm thinking different about the possibilities of that band in the summer time!!
