Hi Walter, there is nothing visible on my Spectran screen this morning and I
dont remember anything there (137.203 ish )last night, so I am guessing that
is probably local to you. I do occasionally get a continuous stable line
which I believe is a local computer, but I have not located it yet.

The recent Loran announcement said "on or around 1st June" for Rugby
start-up....but nothing seen yet.

Cheers de Alan G3NYK

For some months I've been hearing what sounds at first like very slow Morse
on 137.203. It's there 24/7 but it isn't Morse,
it's just random long and short dashes.  Looks like this on Spectran ("800"
is 137.203.000, 20 minute span):


It's quite strong but varies day/night.  Has anyone else heard it?
Is it another of the power-line funnies Jim investigated years ago?
My loop's out of action at the moment so can't DF on it.

BTW, Loran Rugby is due to be on-air within the next 14 days!!!
