Lowfer TAG, in Raymond, ME (FN43sv), is back on the air until the
spring. Frequency is unchanged at 185.302 kHz, and no mods have been
made in the 1 watt setup. Mode is QRSS60, CW with 60 second dots. TAG
spends its winters in a very cold unheated basement, with only the
occasional mouse as company. The exciter was a bit balky starting up
today, so my fingers are crossed.
TAG's frequency of 185.302 kHz is pretty exact. I'll check it later this
week from my home QTH, but it should be within 0.02 Hz, if experience
applies. The frequency is controlled by a 10 MHz proportional-oven
crystal oscillator.
Reports are always welcome.
John, W1TAG
