German WW2 100W.S and Torn.E.b on 630 meter ham frequency. 475 kHz

I transmit with old transmitter from WW2 at 475 kHz. 100 W.S and Torn.E.b receiver. A kite is the antenna.

Thanks for the video. I greatly enjoyed it. I'll never again complain about the weight of my IC-7300 when operating portable.

Hi Helge. Thanks for the nice CW QSO we had on 600meters. Great video you made :) 73's de LA3EQ Jan

A fantastic demonstration, I loved the antenna attached to the kite 👏👏👏 73 from EA1FLL

Lovely to see such old equipment in use. Thank you.

[@nigelauger]

Really enjoyed the video. The equipment looks to be in mint condition. And I love the idea of using a kite for the antenna. Cheers. 73, Nigel, VE3IMF

Wow that is so neat, imagine the stories a radio like that could tell

Friend, this was the coolest thing I've seen in a long while! I am inspired to make a kite antenna now. That gear is made of unobtanium here in the states though. You are now my personal hero!

[@zeusantony5027]

Fascinating demonstration concise and of excellent technical quality. Thank you very much.

[@You22Tube]

I love a good kite-antenna video. Kevlar-reinforced wire is new to me, I'll never forget, because my dream is HF with a kite antenna on a little rowboat, on a little fresh water lake. (Just me, a rabbi, and an encyclopedia salesman; sorry, that's another joke.) II never thought anyone could get a spontaneous QSO on the longer waves. Only in Europe? Your sending on the straight key sounds machine generated (that's a compliment). WW2 surplus radios look like new, I'm sure they been through the war, and then it took a labor of love to get them all shiny and perfect, again. I see you have another kite video :))

Awesome vodeo, thanks. Probably would be easier to setup and end fed half wave on a fiberglass telescoping mast. :) Was fascinating to see a kite antenna.

Can you imagine being one of the 3 men tasked with carrying and operating a radio intellegence setup like this in the field. You had too be Mules as well as Infantrymen along with Radio operators.

[@lorksmoot4937]

It's good to see this type of gear in use. Your videos are always excellent. Amazing how well preserved your former Wehrmacht radios and transmitters are! I wonder if the antenna wire is light enough to be raised aloft by a drone?

[@vener6]

It takes a strong drone due to the weight of the wire length. It would be very limited in useful antenna time as most drones don't have much than 20-35 minutes of flight autonomy from batteries. The kite is a better long term setup, when the wind cooperate , of course.

[@lorksmoot4937]

@@vener6 Yes.....Good point on the operating time for drones. Duh.

God dag, sir...jeg likte videoen din! Jeg er fra statene og tjenestegjorde i den amerikanske hæren i 10 år som signalsoldat. Jeg tilbrakte to av årene mine i Baumholder, Deutschland. Jeg er fascinert av fungerende radioer fra historiske krigstider. Jeg ville absolutt elsket å få tak i radio som ble brukt i USAs væpnede styrker. Dessverre er de vanskelige å få tak i. Takk for at du delte.

[@va3ngc]

I wasn't aware of this ham band until I saw this video. Seems it is relatively new for us on the other side of the pond.

[@ethanpoole3443]

Indeed they (630m & 2200m) are fairly new bands to us here in the Americas and were opened to us about 4 years ago (2017). Some require advance notice of use and filing of your operating location before first use and both have very low EIRP allowances, though the antennas are often sufficiently inefficient that you still have to use a fair bit of output power just to get the maximum 1W (2200m) or 1W/5W (630m, 1W if within 496 miles of Russia) EIRP radiated at the antenna (hence the use of a 100W transmitter and 100m wire antenna in this video). I have not tried to operate on either of these bands myself as I just do not have the space and time necessary to tackle them, but it is great to see others doing so! - 73 de KW4EK
