RE: LF: Come join Warren and Joe on 137 QRSS 60 tonight...

Warren;
Yes, Jerry e mailed me last week.  He can use that freq to test his stuff on air into different ants and loads.  He also wants to try a transmitter for SW that is SSB with carrier
I don't hear anything in that band.  Actually with no QRM 100 w Viker 2 will do just fine! Going to be interesting!
Got some freezing rain here but am going to try loading the ant anyway.  Just got home and will spark-up in half hour or so.  Won't stay on if band is poor-Bob

Hi Bob,

   I could crank down the power very easily but I'm not sure what the 'safe' level is under wet condx, also I hate being PW.

FB on the Hafler, much appreciated!

BTW, I have made good progress on the 1700-1800 kHz license, I got the FAA to grant a release of the lower part (1700-1750) which is allocated to them.  We are going to have Jerry, Joe Fell, you and me on the ticket with 5kW so we can let the broadcast transmitters rip without being shy about it !

I don't blame you.  I just run the power down a few hundred watts to 600-700 W when there is heavy rain or ice-if the ant will load.  Otherwise I just run a KW.   I have cranked it to a KW and a half or so and when I open the door to check or shut down there is usually the smell of ozone!  Not worth burning this place down for a lousey DB or 2-Bob
BTW;
I packed the 5909 and will ship it to you next couple days while your in winding transformers mode!

Hi Bob,

     Stormy WX here tonight, I might chicken out unless the weather clears. 

Just fixed a transformer that flashed over, don't want to risk running in wet weather which always increases corona etc!
