I think we all see the drop in noise level before dawn over here. Wonder where the "Eastern" QRN originates.

>I saw a huge increase in signal strength from DCF39 between >1930 and 2030 last night.

That would correspond with the times I was operating normal CW.

In order to test VE2IQ's proposal, I will try to transmit beacon signals earlier tonight, hopefully from about 1930 for at least some hours. I don't think I can face another full night's operation so soon.... frequency and signal will be the same, unless anyone has a better idea.

I hope Bill's trace does turn out to be G3AQC - however, there are always lots of traces on LF, so it is important to identify if it truly is Laurie. Bill does not mention the resolution he was using was sufficiently wide to see Laurie's 30s dots. Perhaps if Laurie could put some gaps in his beacon sig nal, it would be more distinctive for ID purposes in very narrow bandwidths.

Let's give it another go, then!

Cheers, Jim Moritz
