RE: LF: TA CW QSO on MF band is not a scoop !

Hi Christian,

 

it's due to the time of the year. From november til february it should be no problem to work Joe in CW with moderate power (< 1W EIRP). During the winter 2009-2010 I could hear Joe almost every night with good signal and the US experimental stations (up to 20W ERP) were booming in too.

Let's hope that FCC allows 472kHz before the end of the year and there will be plenty of VE/W stations to work next winter.

 

73, Rik  ON7YD

André,
Peut-être tu m'as pas bien compris.
Pourquoi faire du qrss si l'on pourrait faire CW?
J'entend Joe aussi, mais il est très faible...
