Topband: Transponded topband !?

[on4kj at skynet.be (on4kj)]

Hello toppers,

Have no room for beverages.
A farmer about 6 miles away allows me to set up Beverages during winter
time.
I was thinking about a transponder , mixing the signals up somewhere in the
shf band, send it  to the QTH, mixing the signals back down to 1.83 MHz MF
and use the standard RX ft1000mp as a tuneable MF stage on 1.8 MHz . We used
this system in the fifties to receive  144 -146 HHz on our 28 to 30 MHz
receivers as tuneable MF..
Someone  realized this before ?
Thanks for a shout.
