if any of you have a ham radio or a shortwave radio and could tune into 28.295 i have set up a 24/7 beacon in morse code.
conceivably, if the bands are open anyone anywhere in the world could hear this at one point or another.
please feel free to send me a signal report if you can hear me.
THIS IS MY WEB SITE PAGE DESCRIBING MY PROJECT.
Thanks!
What does the morsecode say? "the watchtower is a fraud"? LOLb

wow Zev I'm guessing you've got a bit of time on you hands lol!
everyone has their hobbies, frog.
mine just happens to be expensive, and to see how far i can get a signal with as little power as possible.
Zev,

When you break it down to yearly cost, ham radio isn't all that expensive other than the initial outlay. Compared to many other hobbies that take a continual feeding of $$$$$$, ours is quite reasonable in the long run.
I should have my new Titan DX up within a few weeks and be back on the air. WhooooooooHoooooo!
Looking forward to field day too!

here is a page describing my antenna project with pictures
also a word of warning. you have to think about how your going to guy that antenna. i know it says it doesn't need it, but it does. even if you mount it the way i did. if its house mounted i think they tell you you have too. but i saw this thing bending in the wind right after a sticky wet snow and i paniced, and guyed it down good.
i dont have pictes of my guy job, but i will soon on that site.
good dx to you!
do you do any digital modes? psk, rtty, cw?
