Luis, thanks a lot for sharing this information. We
can all wish Michel good luck in the process of getting on air.
Reunion in VLF ! :-)
... well that's a natural match - for many
years, La Reunion had been the site of the famous
Omega "E" transmitter:
The memoirs of John Alvin Pierce contain
interesting and sometimes amusing documentation about the ideas behind
Loran-C and Omega. They are available online on Poul-Henning
Kamp's website:
French and Norwegian Loran-C is scheduled to close
down tomorrow 11:00 UT - to my eyes, another sad loss.
All the best,
Markus (DF6NM)

Hi MF
Got an answer from Michel FR5ZX
He has improved the Rx antenna
We have just modify this
antenna and we have now a 50m long slooper and it seems better than before. Last
night, conditions were bad and you were the only EU station to be readable
peaking to -12dB so FB!
I hope he
joins the refector soon. He is working on a PA but at the moment only
50W
On TX, we have troubles
with our 630m PA and can get only 50W at this moment; not enough for doing QSO
with EU. We would like to built a more powerfull PA, something like 500W but
lack of components here in Indian Ocean! Exciter is a TS590S using transverter
output. On RX, we use a Winradio G313E and we were able to copy (up to 529) SAQ
transmissions on 17.2 kHz using Miniwhip antenna. Incredible!
Reunion in VLF ! :-)
Michel is
back ! :-)
