Trying on 6920 AM
jackson_r:
I'm going to be trying on 6920 AM about 10 minutes from this posting, and will continue for about 20-25 minutes.
ChrisSmolinski:
I checked the SDR recording, no sign of a carrier.
ByteBORG:
I show no activity on 6920 kHz from 0352 to 0435 UTC on the overnight SDR recording.
jackson_r:
Thanks for the report, rather lack thereof. :D I'm only running at 50 watts in to a 6' whip that's mounted just 5 feet above the ground. Unfortunately with my HOA rules, I don't have many options as I have to keep it out of sight. I'm going to look at doing some different positioning this weekend, might try on USB as well after I do that.

6' whip at 5 feet may get you 2 blocks with a CB radio but on 40m your going to need something a bit longer!
For NVIS a dipole made from thin (invisible) wire can be 7' from the ground and can run along a fence top but will need to be 70' long.
I've done some experiments recently and can put a decent signal into Holland from the U.K. about 400 miles with 10W.
This will only work during daylight hours, so your going to need a 35' vertical at night and you'd probably work from coast to coast, 2000 miles or so.
Use what you can but don't expect you're going to get anywhere with a 6' antenna at these frequencies.
OK!
