UPDATE: LOWFER’s was something interesting to me so I rolled up a ferrite rod coil and replaced the MW coil with a LW coil that transmits from 160 to 190 kHz with power less than 100 mW and 1 foot antenna. I want to do it again and be part of the long wave spectrum. Thank god and FCC for making this happen. Don’t worry I am going to experiment up to 100 mW. All I used was a 9 volt battery when testing. My new frequency is 165 kHz and 175 kHz then that is it. When I get back to broadcasting on LW in the 160 to 190 kHz region, the battery power will be less than 1.5 to 9 volts AA batteries not more than a watt and no antenna longer than 50 feet (I don’t have enough room for more than 50 feet antennas) it will be a very small set up. I want to see our kids and adults understand what LW is and with part 15 you can go on the air from 160 to 190 kHz just in case 540 kHz to 1700 kHz becomes crowded. We hope that this old hobby wake up some new experimenters. The signals will be very very low powered, but could be a challenge to receive with a loop antenna. I don’t have any plans to transmit up to 1 watt. It’s just a hobby.

Yes, I am still using 540 kHz and soon back on 1620 kHz, they will always be battery powered at 9 volts or less no hefty power supplies here! The FM station is working good, and it’s only using 2 AA batteries that almost dead it’s set to 96.9 MHz, and it’s connected to my netbook very low modulated sound. Sometimes I don’t transmit that much cause I am into more in receiving part 15 signals than transmitting that much. I respect the part 15 hobby and the rules are being followed as instructed. If you detect a 1000 kHz signal in my area that there is just a AM carrier from the 1 MHz crystal oscillator that controls the VLF converter, I may find a way to shield out that signal from being received on my radios in a shielded enclosure.

92.5 Is now being used for secondary programming that will not fit on 96.9 FM, it’s only good for multicasting only.

Stay Tuned!
