This is how Sam, RN6BN saw my Slow-HELL signals
from a distance of 2242 km!
to the homepage of Holger 'Geri', DK8KW (W1KW) .I have collected some information on the new amateur radio longwave band between 135.7 and 137.8 kHz. SeveralEuropean authorities have allocated this band to the amateur radioservice based on the CEPT/ERC Recommendation 62-01 E (Mainz 1997). Besides this, certain British stations may usethe frequency range between 71.4 and 74.4 kHz . There is also an experimental allocation of a range between 8.9 and 9.0 kHz inGermany, available with a special license. A range of 7.0 to 8.5 kHz wasallocatedin Sweden on request. Other countries do not require a licensefor frequencies below 9 kHz.
I will update this page from time to time, whenever I have got something new.
