Hello All

 

Grateful thanks to all who have posted reports on my = 501.3 khz beacon.

The problem at this location on the South West = coastal tip of Wales is massive noise pollution from the adsl broadband = connection.

This takes the form similar to the “galloping = horses” effect that were previously experienced from Loran sidebands on 136. = Receiving on the Tx antenna is impossible.

Having constructed a shielded loop to a design = developed by Finbar GI4DPE, I find that although I can null out a certain degree the = qrn it  makes weak signal reception still virtually = impossible.

I have on a temporary basis, access to a noise free = area about 80m from the house.  To date, I have only heard and worked = the 2 GI’s and my near neighbour GW3UEP who is about 50km NW of me. We exchange 599 signals. I have yet to hear any signals across “the = border”

 

Hope to locate the loop in the quiet zone at times indeterminate over this weekend, chores etc permitting.  The = obvious problem with the loop is that if called by someone on whom I am not = “beaming” I don’t hear them!

Trust this explains my lack of response in the = past.

Final comment—136khz was much = easier!
