Re: [IRCA] Local ham beacons on LW



I QSLed the VE7BDQ beacon a couple of years ago, except he was using the call VX9BDQ on 504.1 kHz. At that time, he was running 100 watts into an inverted L but didn't give the dimensions. He told me he'd also gotten listener reports from Alaska, Hawaii and Texas, so the beacon is a potential catch in sufficiently quiet locations.

I wonder what kind of antennas they're using. A quarter wavelength on 470 kHz (my wavelength conversion spreadsheet is in MHz and won't do three decimal places) is 523.23 feet.
