The 60kHz transmitter is indeed often off on the first Tuesday, but normally not until at least 10am and for only a few hours. In recent months the one on 73.4 has not, as far as I can tell, been off at all. It is very unlikely it will be off as early as 8am and will always be back on before dusk. Perhaps you should plan ahead to May, when Rugby does its annual maintenance. There is a good chance that the TXs will be off for longer periods during that time, but only during the working daytime hours. That will be a good opportunity before we lose the band in June. Sorry about the double posting yesterday. One was sent using my alias address and I assumed it would have bounced as I am not subscribed with that address - for some reason it didn't! 73s Dave dsergeant@iee.org http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/sergeantd
