Re: Topband: 500 kHz
I do not dream of working ZL on 500 Especially since 500 kHz isn't available to hams in ZL yet. We do have 1750m, though (130 to 190 KHz), but the maximum power output is only 5W. 73, Rick ZL2HAM -Original Message- From: Topband [mailto:topband-boun...@contesting.com] On Behalf Of Lennart M Sent: Monday, February 25, 2013 7:36 AM To: topband@contesting.com Subject: Topband: 500 kHz Hi guys! Most or maybe all of us have been talking about 160 as the low band and that is correct in a sence IF they are just about to open up 500 kHz on a more global basis. I do not dream of working ZL on 500 but just want to figure out how big interest there is at this reflector to run some tests on 500. Been in touch with Elecraft and they recommend an up/down converter for the K3 rather than using the KRX3. If you are interested, please send a note off reflector to me. 73 Len SM7BIC _ Topband Reflector _ Topband Reflector
Re: Topband: 500 kHz
Hi, I'm hoping a new 600 meter allocation will give some nice regional rag chew QSOs. My receiver is already working and now looking at designs and schemes for transmitting a signal when the time comes. I have been receiving low powered signals from some of the experimental stations at about 1000 miles distant sometimes. NDBs at 25 watts are good day or night out to 1200 miles. I won't be disappointed if we cannot work other hams globally. There are other bands that are good for that. 73, Bill KU8H _ Topband Reflector
