LF,

I=20 hope to be transmitting soon, at least by 10.00 Z

Conditions are= not=20 ideal with light drizzle and freshening breeze but we'll give it a= =20 shot.

The measured QRG is

8.976 642 kHz

Thanks for= all=20 efforts to find the signal.

I have had permission to transmit on VLF this coming weekend: 12t= h and=20 13th February.
Weather permitting I shall try again with my balloon-launched aer= ial,=20 hopefully about 50m vertical.

The frequency will be

8.976 66 kHz=C2=A0 (i.e. 10.000 MHz / 1114) and is derived= from=20 an oven controlled xtal oscillator.
Hopefully the frequency will be more stable than last time.
If this frequency proves unsuitable I can transmit on 10.000 MHZ= / 1112=20 . .10.000 MHz / 1116=C2=A0 etc.
=C2=A0
I shall send a continuous carrier as and when conditions permit.<= /div>
=C2=A0
My newly built VLF TX is working well and can deliver about 150= watts=20 of RF.
On this occasion I shall be using the original (fairly lossy) loa= ding=20 coil but am=C2=A0presently making a more efficient one.

All reports will be most welcome.
