Hello Susan,
Will you have an amplifier that includes 6m? If you have something that will
put out
500w on 6m, you have an opportunity to do the first activation on 6m EME at
just
about everyplace you are planning to go! What you would need to make this a
reality,
is a good yagi aimed at

I just bought a transformer, primary and secondary both spec'd at 120v. My line
voltage is
119.5 -- the secondary voltage is -- get ready -- 148v! The only thing I can
think of is
that this is supposed to be the voltage under load. But I didn't think that
transformers
were spec'd that way,
Don't forget the Mars Surveyor, that crashed because they got the
units of distance mixed up in the programming Stuff like that
happens.

Transformers [the electrical kind, not the toy kind] have software?

You did not have a rectifier and filter on the secondary did you? The
windings are specified in AC-RMS and if you measure DC on the secondary
or peak AC you will get a higher reading.
No, I just measured the AC voltage from the transformer. Actually,

Hi Susan,
The first, second, and third things you should do is study what George,
AA7JV, and Tomi (HA7RY) have done on their 2-person DXpeditions to small,
rare islands.
I've not been on the radio at an ocean beach (but have been to such beaches,
should take a radio next time). Others with experience doing it may have
better answers. I would use a quarter wave vertical suspended from a
fiberglass mast (fishing rod would work depending on the band) with a bit of
They get wound with software. Human beings are in charge of how many
turns on primary and secondary. 1:1 transformers do not occur
naturally in nature. : ) Guy.
