After initial warm up (I usually leave it for a couple of hours) the frequency drift is greatly reduced. No longer does the trace go off the screen when I open the shack door & the room temperature changes. The frequence accuracy is about 4 or 5 Hz low at the moment (after warm up)which is maybe the best I can expect from the FT747GX. So a serious look for Joe VO1NA, Joe's signal was seen in the early hours of this morning (06-10-2003) with two complete call signs seen between 0505 & 0630 utc, this is the first TA amateur signal seen on 136 Khz band. Looking on earlier captures there is no trace of any signal. The antenna is a G3LNP loop at 15 feet. I will now attempt to receive a signal from Joe using my top loaded vertical & see how it compares with the loop on receive. The next step is to put some RF into it.
