Good gardening Stefan, hope that antenna plants will grow up rapidly 

Listening for your first signals right now ...

73 de Michel - f5wk

Hi all,  Finally! Finally i have my own piece of garden, since monday. It is outside the city, most probably in a very quiet location. The dimensions are roughly 20m x 80m, i.e. 1600 m^2. The locator is JN49IK24 that's 2.4 km distant from my TX location.  I'm planning to arrange several RX antennas for LF / MF and VLF! (No XYL is limiting the possibilities :-) ). Later in the afternoon i'm arranging a first antenna, something like a T antenna, maybe in 6m above the ground, tuned to MF just to get a first impression.  MF WSPR test transmissions are welcome! :-) So far i have mobile internet and can upload some WSPR spots.  I will also install 2 orthogonal RX loops later. Same for LF and VLF. There is no electricity, so no QRM :-) With some luck i can arrange a WLAN repeater in some 15m high trees which are on the property. Solar panels could be mounted into the tree as well as some accumulators in combination with a homemade linear regulating solar battery charger. There are a lot of possible projects to do. And now it will show how easy it is to get fine RX results if you live in a quiet location, using a clean earth and a large RX antenna that doesn't need a preamp :-) OK, let's go! 73, Stefan/DK7FC
