But ALan'you dont actually need a repeater on HF... the repeater is already up there- it's called the Ionosphere !!! :-) What would be more useful, would be say an HF gateway onto a local repeater etc.

20m wont cover the whole country.... you'll need about 5 frequencies, at least 2 simulatenous at all times, maybe 3....

20m might get you 5% of the country for 4 hours per day right now

here you go ..

see below :

likely coverage at 9 in the morning, a guide... there are a few assumptions due to the variability of station/terminals.



coverage at 5pm :


coverage on only 20m at noon.

So Alan

didnt get a reply to my last cavity question on our separate thread. any questions ?

The MUF is about 5 MHz max right now, what are you expecting ?

Hi David, Glen and Jeroen,

10m, the RF side concerns me, the ionosphere is just not co-operating.

The MUF is not lifting up there so the coverage area isn't that good.

Hence my concentrating on 20m as a max frequency. Using 20m a whole
country can be covered. And it happens often enough, even daily for hours.

Thanks Jeroen for the networking thoughts, as Full Duplex from one site
on HF is realistically not possible.

(I've looked at cavity designs for 100KHz split on 29MHz and you need about
four cubic metres!!)

As mentioned, I've picked up the Codan 8528 for a Codec2 repeater.
