[Lowfer] 630m QRSS MEPT

[N8OOU]

All,

I have put up a weak signal QRSS 60 transmission on 475510 Mhz. I have 
used the same equipment in the WSPR mode and had reception over the 
eastern portion of the country.  Hopefully this mode gives improved 
signal coverage.

Transmission details are: 5W input power, matched into a 180Ft RG-8 
loop. The loop runs NW-SE with the top run 75Ft long and 30Ft AGL. The 
bottom run is 7Ft AGL. I have the feed located at a corner.  The data 
transmitted is the letters "W" and "M" with a 12 WPM CW id after each 
letter. As I am retired and do relative little traveling the "Manned" 
component of the transmission should be close to 24/7. This transmitter 
does not have the higher quality TXCO chip used in my Part 15 beacons. 
It has a small amount of "digital" drift due to it's outdoor location.

Signal reports are welcomed. For those who like to chase weak signals, 
here you go!  I do have a loading coil available to switch this 
transmitter to the WM Lowfer vertical for future tests.
