[Lowfer] /16 on the air 507.90kc CW

[Rick Tilton]

Personally I'd like to see a kit so one would not have to dig up all the
parts.  Give me a schematic, instructions, parts and a soldering iron and
I'm ready to go! Hi. I have been following the threads and it is quite
interesting but much more complicated than I thought it would be.  I am
still learning and then there is so many acronyms, digital software, etc....
More to learn than I anticipated I must admit.

Ive not seen WEB for last three or four weeks, yet I have gotten reports on
WMS 


beacon from 450 to 600 miles. No luck looking for COV or XR here either.
Bill Ashlock 


express an opinion a few weeks ago in a email that 250 miles was a bad
distance for 


NDB and lowfer beacons. Wish we had more beacons so I could tell more about
propagation. 



Maybe Andy should build a fire under the new owners of those kits he made
up. 



I didnot get a chance to repair WMS today. Will take care of that tomorrow.
It doesn't 


take a direct strike, this has happened three times last spring in thunder
storms. Beacon is 


160 ft from the house and I am not brave enough to go out and disconect the
antenna in 


a thunderstorms. 



I gues we should enjoy the long propagation while it lasts.
