Hello Kenneth, > I have been asked to put up a station for the local BSA troop to observe > Ham Radio on Saturday October 16th.
I'm going to be running barefoot out of park in Dyer, Indiana. It might work? Last year I was listening from the Camp Betz. I could hear JOTA SSB stations on 40 and 20 meters from across the country with no problem (the antenna wire tossed up in a tree, and the ground wire running off into the woods somewhere). I didn't hear anyone at the JOTA calling frequencies, but there were scouts up and down the band from there. Figure that JOTA is set up so the scouts can talk on the radio. Only a few scouts know CW, so I wouldn't expect much there. This year I've built the SSB adapter for that reason, but I don't know if it works. You might want to try near 7.270 MHz, I think that's the 40 meter calling frequency for JOTA in the USA. 73, Michael, AB9GV (Scoutmaster, Troup 510) _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
