To: rsgb_lf_group@blacksheep.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit X-Mailer: AOL 4.0.i for Windows 95 sub 64 Precedence: bulk Reply-To: rsgb_lf_group@blacksheep.org X-Listname: rsgb_lf_group Sender: Hello group, yesterday I checked the very low end and wondered that I didn't see a trace of the familiar ALPHA beeps. Today nothing either on any of their qrgs 11.905, 12.089, 12.667 and 14.88 kHz. With precise GPS, are they finally gone for good now, following the fate of OMEGA? Hearing all four beacons certainly was an excellent rx test, but natural-radio listeners will probably enjoy the lack of qrm. One I would NOT miss would be the 124 kHz DGPS service from Mainflingen with all its noisy intermodulation... 73s de Markus, DF6NM
