BBCR4 on 198 shallow peaked about an hour later. DCF39 has peaked at some 28db stronger, with same sort of s/n increase on Jan 5/6 than those measured last night. Ill have the receivers on tonight and over the weekend again from 0000Z till 0730Z QRSS60 centered on 137.7735. +- 1Hz. I may pop down to the other end of the band if I read of activity via this medium We have a loran line at 137 772.773 from station 9990 - North Pacific which is strongish (thanks W1TAG for the info - proves freq calibration of the radios too!) The 135 Khz end of the band is a lot more noisy here at the moment. Any activity with actual freq and times can be mailed direct to my email if you dont want to flood the reflector. KL1X station this week Ant - top cap, bottom 0.9mH (ish) loaded 90ft vertical(s), RX = TS870. Largish earth radial system (as employed on 160m - still small for 137!) and a 150ft well casing. ground conductivity in my reckoning is poor. Antennae is in a middle of a forest with trees to 90ft which Im sure doesn't help either - it certainly doesn't help on 160/80m using the s/f tower WX foggy 0C - No snow still.
