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

[Jim Vaughan, K4TXJ]

With a TCS you wouldn't get that much.  I used to ham with a TCS when on the surface.  Back then it was great.

  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.

    Power and location. 
    5 KW with a saltwater ground plane is easy compared to Amateur levels from Kansas.

    > In "solidarity" with the coast stations I will be operating a special Night-of-Nights repeating beacon message in CW on my 630-meter band experimental station WH2XHY. 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.
