[Lowfer] XPQ

[Laurence KL1 X]

Alaska Part 5 WE2XPQ is  continuing ground wave testing on 506.882 ish on qrss 45ish, best viewed dot 30 slow "XPQ". Power is 100W into the loop. The reference source is an onboard TXCO  and divide by - so stability isnt GPS stab but good enough to paint a flat line at dot 60. 

Im switching also to 137.7755 1Kw intermittently thru the day. Call sign ID at 12WPM and 45 secs of carrier then repeat. Around 40A loop current today - its warming up.

Ill probably leave the 506kHz signal run overnight tonight, Sunday night for some exciting sky wave stuff....although our sky wave hasnt been up to much recently and the ionosphere acting more like a wet sponge. Im blaming that 3rd belt that was...
