Of course with hundreds of watts and a bigger earth-electrode baseline some radiation is likely, so hundreds of km becomes possible. With earth-mode most of the signal is conducted through the ground.
I had to stop when I had my stroke, which stopped me doing all sorts of field experiments. These days I hope others are carrying on where I stopped. Meanwhile I experiment, on something else, at home.
At the moment I am spending a few days with my brother in Devon where I used to live. It is filled with memories.
One thing I have to learn is memories are just that: they happened long ago and cannot be got back. They are memories that cannot be recreated. They’re to be remembered but cannot ever be brought back.
I think this is important as we spend too much time of our lives time chasing these.
This was me at my old QTH on 10m CW in the garden with a loop on the FT817. I think it was 2012.
Last week, the USA used expensive "bunker busting" bombs on at least one Iranian nuclear site. The US president said it was highly effective and has put Iran's nuclear program back many years.
A leaked intelligence report is more guarded. The know-how still exists and much of the highly enriched uranium may have been moved beforehand.
If the US president is wrong the implications could be enormous. I find it hard to accept that the presidents of the USA and Israel can be so sure, allegedly, unless they really do have incredible intelligence and spies.
Personally, I always prefer talking rather than "bully boy" tactics.
Overnight I stayed on 6m FT8 RX but without success. My 5W FT8 TX was turned on before breakfast and has been spotted by Es already at 0700z.
