We have had the 136 kHz band for a while in several countries in Europe
for a while, so I have bought a crystal and a diode mixer as a start for
a transverter, only some more work is needed ...

Of the three K2 transverter frequencies: 7, 14 and 28 MHz, I avoided 7
MHz because of strong EU broadcast stations, so the crystal is 14.000
MHz in order to have as low frequency to work with as possible.
