It looks as if I missed another chance for TA QSO unfortunately. I have been in the beacon mode for the past few days. A "K" following the call sign indicates that ARGO is running and FFT'ing for a reply near 135.922 kHz, otherwise it's beacon mode. This morning, I checked the RF power and current into the coax (I now have the tuning network at the end of the wire aerial and fed with coax). Both were very low. Fortunately, the aerial survived the freezing rain last night-- at least it is still in the air, bit there is still something wrong and the TX is now off the air. I expect the usual battles with mother nature in keeping the beacon running this winter. 73 Joe On Wed, 19 Jan 2005, Lawrence Mayhead G3AQC wrote: > Good signal here from 20:30 but no reply to my calls so guess in beacon mode. > Surprising to see such a signal since big solar disturbances only yesterday. > 73 Laurie. > > -- > > Whatever you Wanadoo: > http://www.wanadoo.co.uk/time/ > > This email has been checked for most known viruses - find out more at: http://www.wanadoo.co.uk/help/id/7098.htm
