Hi, Stefan.
Not see you last night in WSPR-2.

Hi Genosse Stefan,

Will someone catch the signal at all? At least i'm already
asking for RX
stations!

I've just resonated my antenna aa inverted L on 137.5kHz (with 502µH)
and wil be ready to receive in WSPR-2 as soon as you start.

Genosse Roman, LF,

Yesterday i built a small LF PA providing 10 W at 50 Ohm. It
consumes 1
A at 12 VDC. I intend to run an over-night WSPR-2 transmission (20% TX
rate) on saturday night, using the ground loop or earth antenna in
JN39WI. The signal generator is a Raspberry Pi running on a separate 7
Ah lead gel accu. The PA has its own 7 Ah accu. The PA can switch from
2.5 W to 10 W :-)

Will someone catch the signal at all? At least i'm already
asking for RX
stations!

I'll carry some measuring equipment there, like my M0BMU LF tuning
meter, some Cs, a T106-2 and some wire, also a small ferrite core to
build a transformer if necessary.
What could the feed point impedance be? I have no idea! My modified
MFJ-259B covers LF but i expect it will be overloaded with strong
signals on the antenna, so i try to match the antenna with the
transmitter.

More soon :-)

73, Stefan

PS: Oh, i'm also going to connect two anti-parallel LEDs to
the antenna
to see if they shine. It is all a big game for old children!

OK Stefan.
Try it to do. may be wonderful results.

Hello Roman,

Yes maybe i'll build a quick PA tomorrow for LF and will
transmit on LF
for 24 hours, each 10 minutes, WSPR-2. I have no idea at
all how this
antenna performs on 137 kHz. Is it still a loop or rather a
dipole or a
mixture? At least it has about the length of a full size
dipole for 137
kHz. I would TX at 10 W RF power only, so that a small accu
covers some
hours. But i'm not yet sure if i can find the time to do it
tomorrow.

73, Stefan

PS: If the antenna acts as a dipole, then it is beaming to
Russia directly.

Congrts, Stefan!

We are follow by your success!
Listen, do you planning to operate 136 kHz, I hear, tell
me pse - do you planing try to TX with that ant on 477 kHz and 160M?
I will be interestin to hear about results.

73!
Roman
