[Lowfer] 1750 meter frequency for Part 5?

[Bill Ashlock]

Hi Warren,

Hope you can do some comparative sending between 137K and 160 -190K that will indicate the relative propagations and antenna efficiencies between these frequencies. Think you will find that the same loop will perform better at the 137K band in terms of antenna current but the effect of ground losses on the ERP may represent a variable that is hard to predict.

As far as causing the least amount of trouble to 1W lowfers (like ME :), you would be better off sending at the lower end of the band. A freq of 160K to 170K for example.

Bill
