Australian 137 kHz beacon on-the-air

Drew Diamond, VK3XU, is operating a CW beacon on
137.4 kHz every Saturday and Sunday afternoons and evening.

Drew has activated a 50-watt transmitter into an inverted wire antenna from Wonga Park.

He would like to receive signal reports, they can be sent to his email address: vk3xu@wia.org.au providing date, time, signal strength and grid locator (eb QF22ML).

Due to the very low antenna efficiencies at this frequency, Drew estimates his effective radiated power is 6 milliWatts. His signal has been heard in Melbourne, Sale and Sydney.
