[CW] WH2XHY will operate Night of Nights on 475 kHz

[Radio K0HB]

On a good day on a destroyer our TBL might muster 25-45W, netting maybe half that thru the tuner to a U shaped wire between the for'd yard arms and the after stack.  Wouldn't have called it "easy", but it wasn't an experiment.





Would have loved to have had a TBK or TBM like they carried on the heavies.

The frequency will be 475 kHz.  I'll use my JRC NSC17M maritime reserve transmitter operating into my Marconi L antenna.  Not a powerhouse like KSM, but in CW mode this setup has received reception reports in Wisconsin and surrounding states during the day, and throughout this region of the country at night.
