The loop was well guyed and stayed "beaming" OK. Alans report on the iono is a very good "reflection" of what happens. At 1940Z the night time iono suddenly turns on and ramps up over an hour to max about 2200-0400. At 0300Z I was up sheltering from the storms and could audibly hear DCF39 thru the crashes. Drop off suddenly at 0410 this morning and earlier D layer reflection mode started before 0800Z. The signal during the daytime is very constant but in all cases both night and day has the 0.15Hz doppler/signature. Detection of weak signals between 2100-2300 both on 137773.5 (just above) and 772.5. Just visible no call. No loran lines. The 870 is doing a more than credible job with the QRM/N..AGC back offed fully. Spent 3 hours at the NCA yesterday but licence delayed further - "phone on Monday" - this looks like being a SWL expedition! But the propagation results are very interesting in any case. Station continues to be on line and capturing. Thanks to all for the emails and the support/encouragement! Keep on sending chaps.... vy 73 Laurence KL1X/GM4DMA Accra Ghana. _________________________________________________________________ Help STOP SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail
