137kHz beacon

Many years ago I did some experiments on the 2200m band. 

This was my prototype beacon that sent CW and QRSS3.

137kHz QRSS3 test

One of the aims for this week is to carry out that 137kHz QRSS3 test with my earth-electrode "antenna" in the ground with my FT817, E-field mag-mount on the car roof and SpectrumView software on my iPhone. To do this needs the coax fitting to my mag-mount. I must have "stolen" it for some reason.

Before going out in the car I can check things locally.

This software allows about 2 minutes of audio to be recorded as a spectrogram view. I hope to do this by just placing the iPhone next to the FT817's speaker. The photo of the SpectrumView screen is attached.

2200m beacon

My test a year ago with this was (surprisingly) a failure. At some point I would like to try again. There is a short video of this beacon on my video channel. It sends CW at 10wpm and QRSS3.
