It's only ca. 2-3m above the roof, ca. 15m above the ground, so I do not expect wonders, but who knows. It's been raining last Sunday, so I decided to leave it there and go back, I hope to elevate it ca.10m up when time and weather allow. In priniciple it works, though I remember the DCF39 signal to be stronger (against noise) when using the LF transmitter's Marconi antenna. It's of course strong anyway. Pictures are saved since a few days at http://br198.internetdsl.tpnet.pl/~sp5zcc1/argo/?C=M;O=D , though the noise level is rather high last times, even the Chayka lines are not so clear, they appear clearly only during mornings. The MV-61 receiver has the VFO slightly unstable, thus since yesterday I turned on a marker at 137.780 - it shows both the frequency drift as well as - indirectly - the noise floor (the AGC is on). The marker is from GF-62 signal generator, it's rather stable. I will leave the whole setup running during next few days, maybe just change the resolution for the weekend. Or maybe even try to be active as SP0TPAX again, but Easter is a family holiday in Poland, so it will rather be a limited activity... BTW I would be grateful, if anybody could tell me whether it is at all possible to link the two units, Praecitronic MV-61 & GF-62. GF-62 has the 4-6MHz output, MV-61 has the ext. VFO input in the same frequency range, though linking these doesn't work. MV-61 is meant to be working with GF-61, not 62. This would make the frequency stability way better... Happy Easter and 73!
