[Lowfer] Another newbie with questions!

[John Davis]

Hank,

Quickest place to get answers ranging from the identity of AZ to FCC Part 15
Rules is lwca.org.  When you go to the home page, click the LoweFER/MedFER
icon at the top of the page.

In the About Part 15 section, there are also links to other good sources of
information, such as Lyle Koehler's pages and the Noise Floor site which,
although now a bit outdated, still explains a lot of the terms and modes you
may be curious about.

Say, any one know who AZ on 13.554.700 is?  Heard the beacon in DM04 at 549.
Today at 12:57 Pacific Time.  Been listening to it for a couple hours.
Strong signal for 8 milliwatts!
I'm impressed.  However I have been listening to the IRAU world wide beacons
and seeing if I
can hear the 100 milliwatt signals from those areas; and I can.  With a wire
dipole even!
Anyway,
I think I might stick one up for grins and solar power the thing.
I could hang the works from the center of a wire dipole and let it run.
Is that legal?  Course I wouldn't be able to run PSK (or even more robust is
MFSK16).
It wouldn't take much of a solar cell array to run it. 8 miliwatts right?
All I need is a low power  ID-ER CKT to key it.  Could I use GRID SQUARE as
an ID?
What about my call, backwards.
Questions.  Yes, I got questions.
Where can I find some quick answers on operating on that band?
Thanks in advance.
:)
