The Bet

[rob007]

Hello everyone I am RadioRob007 name Rob.
Maybe you know me from the SW.

On the Internet here in Holland we have A electronics forum.
Also on that forum we have a part with HF (Hi Frequent)
What I have don! I have make A sort of bet on that forum!
I have said, make your own transmitter and go in the air with it.
Try to make that someone hear you on Short Wave!
And you know, with only A low power transmitter you can come far far away
And also some of the people on the forum are no beginners!
And so I hope that YOU will work with us and also listen if you here some of the people?
The frequention shall be on the SW and the most people shall try to
Transmit between 6200 and 6400KHZ – AM.
Maybe you want to look to the forum?

And the bet is here:

I wish for you and everyone nice and sunny days!
And don’t forget to listen?

Sorry for bad English!

With regards RadioRob007…Rob.

Hi Rob,

I think that's a great idea, and will hopefully get some more stations on the air.

I'll be happy to try to hear any of these homebrewed transmitters, so give some advance notice, and possibly a late night or higher frequency transmission (9-15 Mhz), and we might hear it in the USA.

[alfred]

also if going to run some test to usa, www.frn.net

I too think it is a great idea.Had a quick look at the Dutch site that Rob posted the bet on and there are some very good links to schematics there.Perthaps if someone could translate the idea into English(Alfred?) someone else into German,Italian(I'll do a French translation!)We could make this truly European.

Hi Rob,

What I meant was that all the postings on the Dutch messageboard,were of course,in Dutch.So most of us don't understand what is happening.Perhaps your idea was best.Maybe if I post on there in English I will get English responses and the rest of Europe will understand what is happening too!

Hello Andy!

It is too much to translate everything!
sorry!

Testing on Short Wave!

!!!A new station!!!
From A location in the Netherlands
Around the clock from 20:00 and also on 17:00
On 6,552MHZ – AM with 1KHZ tone.
Will you trey to receive it?
And writ a rapport in this forum?
It wood be very nice!

Thank you

[curious george]

Thanks for alerting us to this test transmission.

But can you clarify the times for us?

Are you saying that the test time is approximately 2000 UTC on Saturday?
How long will the test last?

(When you said "around the clock", that means you will keep the transmitter on all day. I don't think that is what you really meant).

[Andy Richards]

I will monitor 6552 this evening & will report back on this messageboard tonight.

Hello Andy and everybody. I try to translate the original Challenge ( bet) from Rob in english:

If you don't mind?

I start a separate subject about this:

THE CHALLENGE! ( THE BET)

Were actual a joke! But nevertheless a nice idea!!! and so..........................


In principle you are able build everything itself! But that goes to far!
Let's hope we all have reasonable shortwave receiver.
What is the intention?

MAKE YOUR OWN SHORTWAVE TRANSMITTER!

On which frequency?
Between 6200 and 6400KHZ - the AM

How much Watt?
The capacity does not matter!

But what is then the intention?
The intention is that you live fun! (is even obliges!)

Yes but what is the aim?
The aim is that somebody hear you with your home brew SW transmitter.

Yes but at who?
Lets say this way:
You are of course a hero if you are heard with almost no capacity over a long distance!
BUT,
it is already enormous good if you were heard with something simple throughout the Netherlands!

How can you win?
Nobody does! It concerns here the kick!
Although!?
There is of course, however, looked at against you on if you with a hand full cheap goods,
MAKE A LONG DISTANCE!

And further?
And further it seems nice to me if you have fun have!

And then?
Perhaps you finds it nicely and becomes/remains you pirate!
OR!
Do you go still a step further and do precede you your licence?
What you want! In all cases I wish you much success!

If I have more information I'll write it between the lines, however,!

Do you participate? There are some dx-ers listening in Germany already!

Of course You can use http://babelfish.altavista.com/ for online translating the Dutch forum. The translated Dutch is not correct Engish, but now you know what they are talking about.
