Hi,
Stefan.
Good
steady copy here- report RST 579.

Hi Stefan,
your beacon is booming S9 here.
Also good CW activity at the lower band end.
About beacon band: 474-475kHz seems OK although the upper end comes a bit
close to the digital mode segment (last winter the was good WSQ / WSJT
activity in the 475.2-475.4kHz segment).
A nice feature for beacons would be power reduction in 3 or 4 steps at
the end of each TX sequence (eg in 6dB steps: 1W / 0.25W / 0.06W / 0.016W
ERP). This would allow listerens to check (and improve) their RX system
performance.

Oh, thanks for the quick response, even in daytime :-) I already
got email reports from newcomers, like DL2FBI. It seems to be something
special for them (actually it is, of course!! :-) ) because many of them
prepare videos (see here: https://mediencenter.t-online.de/static/mc.html#share/show )
and send long emails. DL2FBI even reported about spontaeous experiments with
different antennas (all for HF bands!). I bet this will motivate a few to
become active on the band! Hey, folks, let us think/discuss about a
CW beacon section in the band (maybe 474...475 kHz) in 200 Hz wide channels
where CW transmissions can be run.
In the message we could announce a
common weekly activity day, e.g. sunday 18 UTC, alternatively x-band 80m/630m.
That could result in a big pile up, newcomers and some website reports or
radio magazine reports, resulting in even more activity.
A revolution!
:-)I'm curious about the incoming reports and do intend to run the
message during the next 3 days or so. The email reports will give a direct
feedback about the usefullness of such transmissions. 73,

Hello Stefan,
Excellent copy, albeit the
signal is just 8 dB over the band noise in a 1000 Hz bandwidth.
HSP does
the rest!
