500kHz TXing using the 10m halo
Having taken down the 500kHz antenna and put 28MHz wire halo back up I tried TXing on 500kHz with it. I strapped the coax feeder inner and outer together and fed it via the ferrite rod ATU with a bit more inductance. First report was from M0LMH some 223kms away at -20dB S/N , so I still get out OK on 500kHz with now <1mW ERP. Also getting reports from G6AVK at 78kms. At 8pm I also got a report from PA1GSJ, so the 28MHz halo and feeder makes quite a respectable 500kHz antenna!
