[600MRG] 137kHz

[Dave Riley]

Hi Larry,

You have it wired already so why the mothballs?? Can you imagine a WSPR 
relay on the east coast used for 'transcon/trans-atlantic' link??
If Paul 'BUG' will let us use his quiet location for the RX part of the 
patch then we keep adding paths..  Auto QSO even..

This WSPR lighthouse duty is OK by leaving plenty of time for RF, 
hardware, etc...

Speaking of 2200m, has a successful LARGE ground loop been used as TX 
antenna?? Recall VE2IQ having great listening on big ground loop in the 
woods and on the ground...

GL es 73s from DaveR @ aa1a
