I was doing better 50 years ago from my 10W dc input
mobile and a home made base loaded mobile whip on 160 metres
I was able to work all around the UK and across to western
EU. That was the old CW and AM days then SSB came along and I covered even more
ground.
To days MF operators have a lot of catching up to do

Q not sure on the 476.5 ?
That is for CW mode which i want to do again tonite.
Yesterday i saw a strong CW signal on 476.5 but my RX was not ready to go.
There is a very small and slowly growing group of CW operating OMs there and i
want to be one of them, causing more activity there.
So i will run the
beacon until 21 UTC at 1W TX pwr.

Hi G.,
Yes i know, thanks.
Well, it is still the
groundwave distance. There are some stations in PA monitoring but this is to
far for the groundwave at this power level i assume.
DK8IZ is 17km
distant. I didn't know that there is someone who watches the band so close
to me.
But you should decode me at this power level at night.
Is
my announcement for the common CW sked at 21 UTC on 476.5 kHz
visible?

So far so good then !
The minimum decode level is
round -31 dB ........
From the map, you can see what
stations are monitoring and what qrg

Hello MF,
I just started a QRP beacon on 477 in OP4
mode using 1W TX power (not ERP).
Maybe someone can receive
me?? :-)
