LOW FREQUENCY EXPERIMENT: OPERA ENCODED SIGNAL TRAVELS 2200
MILES
Opera has made a big debuet on the ham radio bands. Using
the new Opera data mode, Gary Taylor, G4WGT, in Lancanshire
in the United Kingdom has successfully transmitted a signal
on 137.5 kHz across the North Atlantic to Joe Craig, VO1NA,
in Toebay, Canada. This over a distance of 3,500 kilometers
or 2200 miles.
Taylor transmitted six full callsign frames in a two hour
period, which is a big time saving over other slow digital
modes like QRSS. Opera was created by Graham Brown, G0NBD
with the actual code written by Jose Ros, EA5HVK. This as a
way of providing data operations for stations that only had
the CW capability. The most up to date information on this
mode can be found at groups.yahoo.com. (Southgate)
