Default Re: Unknown 160m Transmission

Hi David,

I was NOT that man! Yes, trig pillars were popular sites, as were lighthouses and coastguard lookouts. I ran a chain covering the Dover Strait. We took power from the CG station at Langdon Battery and used an old gun mount for the Texas Tower mast.

Anyway, this is getting away from the topic, Top Band activity! I listen occasionally, using the G4FPH SDR, and hear quite a bit of AM activity on 1977kHz. I have a KW-160 and a Codar AT5 here so once I finish putting down a few more radials I will give the band a try.

Oh, and if anyone comes across any HIFIX gear, I'd love to get hold of a Low-Power Transmitter!
