CW propagation tests - the good old way
As part of my Manned-Experimental-Propagation-Tests
(MEPT) I sporadically operate a CW beacon when present in the shack.
Due to massive renovation works currently on-going, I could only set up a
kind of emergency antenna here in Kempten, Bavaria, JN57dr:
A simple 1.7 m Bamboo stick out of the kitchen window, turned into a
horizontal quarterwave, see below.
The TRX is a Sommerkamp TS-712P, modified to 1.5 W RF output and 28.166
MHz.
As keying device I can highly recommend the ID-O-Matic
II standalone keyer, to which I added a manual trigger.
The preferred propagation is toward the west and east.
