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..
