Re: [HCDX]: Isle of Man 279 antenna?

["Robert Montgomery" <RMonty3@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

100kw is a bit low for the Long wave band but sure will be an interesting
catch if heard at all here in N. America.  I had thought I read somewhere
last year when all of it started it was to be a 500 kw site.  100 kw will
make it a real challenge!
