[Lowfer] Any use?

Ed, 

Didn't think about the following until you brought it up:

>I'm not worried about interference between stations in the band, but of
problems with interference to other services.  As for what guys might
do, I'm not worried about the current experimenters either.  However,
consider the case of the "long-path" bunch on 3800 Khz -.  Some of them
are running a lot more than the legal limit, and some of the signals are
pretty lousy.  If and when something happens I hope it will turn out
that I'm just being a dismal gloomy  pessimist, but in my experience
with a number of different hobbies with potential public exposure, when
the "big boys" move in they can screw it up for everyone.

> Ed, we'd love to have the signal! (Les)

I echo this as well

>Maybe I'll give it a try "when I get the time"; I'll have to study up
more on how those modes work and how the transmitter is modulated. 
Straight CW would be by far the easiest mode to try.  Not sure how
stable the present exciter really is, but maybe good enough. 

With QRSS (very slow cw) it shouldn't be that hard to be up and running.
Just a little $1 xtal and a 4-component Fet ocillator stage it connects to
is plenty stable. Do it!

Bill
