[GreenKeys] DDK9 at 10100.8 MHz; DDK2 at 4.583 MHz; DDH7 at 7.646 MHz

DDK9 at 10100.8 MHz is solid print here on the East Coast in the 
mornings and evenings.  The station is located in Hamburg Germany 
running 10 KW at 50 baud and 450 shift.   It makes a nice beacon and 
I've used it on a number of occasions when I want to confirm that the 
30 meter band is open to Europe.

I've regeared one of my Model 28 ASR for 50 baud so that I don't have 
to jury rig the range finder on my 45.45 baud Model 28 ASR to obtain 
acceptable copy.  Butif you only have 60 WPM gears, you should be able 
to move the range finder down to about "30" to get good print.

DDK9 has a web page that shows the station schedule. Check out

for the schedule in English.

You will also see that DDK2 at 4.583 Mhz and DDH7 at 7.646 MHz are also 
running 50 baud and 450 shift.  Both of these stations are running 1 KW 
of power output.
