Hi All

 

running a quick test beacon on 472.9.   G7= NKS.  testing my revised Hafler PA set up.  Can see it on B'ham g= rabber.  thanx fer any other reports.  Message repeats every 5 mi= ns @ 5wpm. 

 

Will leave it running for couple of hours or so

 

approx 0.5W erp from a 10m vertical with 3 x 30m top= wires (running NW away from vertical )

 

ELAD FDM duo  0dBM output into cheap EBAY 1w br= oadband amp into Hafler 9505 as per W1TAG designs etc.

 

Will give WSPR a run later but having the devils own= job with getting WSJT-X to be stable, keep getting the =93hamlib dll =93 e= rror after a couple of cycles.  Very frustrating .

 

Also getting the ELAD to talk to HRDv5 and DM780 was= a nightmare, but eventually solved with virtual audio cables etc but certa= inly not intuitive or easy.

 

Strangely, the Hafler P4000 puts out a bit more powe= r as =93stock=94 than the 9505 so am thinking about removing the feedback c= ap as discussed in the various W1TAG pages but can=92t seem to work out how= to open the case of the 9505!

 

Jay/John =96 any tips?  Is it the allen bolts? =

 

Next thing is to lower S7-S8 noise on separate Rx an= tenna.  Have tried using Tx antenna which is 15m away from house but t= op wires go over house and so are prob picking up noise.  Current sepa= rate Rx antenna 10m vertical and 3 x 30m top wires also pass over house.

 

Any suggestions as to a good low noise Rx antenna mo= st welcome.  I=92ve tried a miniwhip but even when remote mounted on w= ooden pole with earthed braid at house entry it is still s8 noise.  G3= XIZ suggests a loop, he=92s probably right, but any other =93quick and dirty =93 ideas appreciated

 

The ELAD via the 0dBm is excellent as an exciter and= will generate RF down to 5khz, so after some judicious coil winding, I=92l= l be trying LF again and then the heady lows of VLF.  My best previous= Dx on 8.9khz being 500m!  (thats metres not km!)

 

I may try Roger=92s G3XBM earth loop set up, but las= t time it didn=92t work well but as I=92m out =93in the boonies=94 ~I don= =92t think I have much in the way of =93buried Utilities assistance=94=

 

Cheers for any reports

 

Mal (KEV) you must be able to hear me with your mons= ter set up in Scarbs!!
