[Lowfer] Experimental 137 kHz

[Mitch Powell]

Larry:

This is to confirm your reception of 137768.33 kHz beacon.
Will create QSL for the occasion.
Transmitter - 50 watts single FET -
Antenna - 40 ft vertical with three 60 ft top-hat wires ( spaced
120 deg apart) Whole system enclosed with trees, trees, trees.

Beacon  M P transmitting QRSS 3   and QRSS 60 tests conducted
over last three days - resulting in reception at WB3ANQ of both modes,
but QRSS3 not positive except for frequency confirmation - QRSS 60
showed definite signal characteristics ( read - drifting
frequency on long dashes ) and enabled more positive ID.
Ordering QRSS30 chip for future tests.
Now shut down for further antenna work - maybe cutting limbs (?).
Eyeballing trees for Ashworthian Antenna System next.

Thanks for map showing distance -362 miles- between us
and the hundred or more QRSS 3  captures through the night.
You really don't sleep, do you ?
