Hi Stefan, LF
Last night the pipe was running 2Amp RF. Was nice to get +2dB from Ruben EB8ARZ this morning at his sunrise

This weekend I will be out on trip, till Thursday. I have nothing arranged to be able to work JT9 in LF at the moment
Probably the upconverter for MF be usable. Have to test it
What I plan for this Christmas is a CW beacon in LF. Just to rise interest in the band. But it will be very hard to get
newcomers. Not many commercial equipment go down to LF with some performance and the HF antennas are
just noise harvesting stuff. Anyway I’ll try. May be we can arrange a coordinated beaconing in the same frequency
So to make it even more interesting for all over Europe ?
QSOs will be nice. QRSS may be also an option. There are still many FIRST to do in LF , not only in VLF and beyond ;-)
So far, I just did a first 9A<>EA in LF with Boki, 9A3KB, last year using QRSS last year

LF,
Fortunately there are several new stations on the air on 137 kHz (relative to 5 years ago) which are strong enough to work from here in JT-9.

This is worth to do a QSO party on LF already, but i think there are even more stations such as DF6NM ready to TX.
Should we try to attempt some JT-9 QSOs on Saturday evening?
I'm not yet QRV again but could prepare things on Saturday...
73, Stefan
