I am within 5 miles of the East Coast here. I am seeing it most nights and it was reported by Willem I think, who posted traces of it. It would certainly confuse spotting your signal. LF experience says "round number frequencies are best avoided if you can". Propagation conditions look quite good at the moment on LF and it should be the same at 500k.....that dont account for T-storm crashes though Well Done Cheers de Alan G3NYK ----- Original Message ----- From: John GM4SLV To: Sent: 19 July 2007 22:42 Subject: LF: CQ 502.5 > At last... > > Got antenna roughly tuned, variometer at the limit but SWR okay and > ~0.4A RF to the antenna > > Seems to be a lot of static around - or is it something to do with new > ATU? > > Anyway - I'm calling now 2141 UTC on 502.5 CW > > John GM4SLV > > -- > G-GRP-Club 2377, QRP-ARCI 12384, SKCC 3214 > Member : RSGB, ARRL > Shetland Islands (EU-012) IP90GG > Lerwick Radio Club : http://www.gm3zet.org >
