Subject: LF: Transpolar Long carrier test 137.7800 WE2XPQ
tonight
WE2XPQ will be conducting a continuous carrier test
overnight on 137.7800 kHz from around 0100Z till around 1600Z Tonight (thats in
a few hours time).
Conditions over the Polar regions are getting
better but less than fair at the moment but worth investigating. A no show is
still a result :-)
Transmitter will be the GPS/10MHz
disciplined HP3336B via 4046 squarer and 4426 driver to the Decca 5501 Amp
at around 600W into a Fir tree 140m loop - ERP is likely to be less
than 0.5W in the main lobe 040/220deg T
The loop will be modified
this coming week if the weather breaks but its been blowing 40Kts gust and -25C
so still nippy on the face and fingers to do long term outside work. We are also
in a "Red Flag" warning area so have to be careful with sparks and
flames..
