<H1>500kHz 1mW QRP gets to Norway</H1>
<P><FONT face=Verdana><STRONG>Roger G3XBM</STRONG> in Cambridge runs just 1
milliwatt ERP on 500 kHz using WSPR and his signal has now been received in
Norway by LA9BEA, 836 km away.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Verdana>On his blog Roger writes:</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Verdana>Last night (Friday Dec 11), a couple of LA stations were
listening on 500kHz WSPR. Neither had heard my 1mW QRP signal by 2300z, so I
left the station running through the night. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Verdana>At 0418z (Saturday Dec 12) LA9BEA heard my signal at -28dB
S/N in JO29 square some 836kms to the north east of me. This is now my 8th
country, and 49th station, to log me on the band.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Verdana>On the GQRP list he comments:</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Verdana>I can't begin to explain how much fun this ultra-simple
approach to 500kHz has been: simple, small, antenna + tiny ferrite rod ATU + a
small and simple transverter. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Verdana>If anyone's interested, there's a photo of the latest
version of my QRP 500kHz transverter, with the schematic, on my website towards
the bottom of the page.<BR>See </FONT><A
