| Weak trace at 1.5km from the 320mW TX by earth mode |

| 320mW 8.760kHz QRSS3 transmitter |
Having blown up my 4W transmitter yesterday I built a smaller QRSS3 beacon TX today that puts out 320mW into 50 ohms. I connected this to the earth electrode antenna and went out with the loop and E-field probe and PC to see how it performed. The signal was copied weakly but solidly at 1.5km away at the local National Trust carpark (see picture from Spectran showing the XBM part of may callsign). An attempt at 5.1km was unsuccessful although faint traces of the line at 8.760kHz may have been visible.
