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?? :-)
