Hi Stefan (e= t=20 al)

Using the readout I have (nearest 10Hz on my FT817 and IC703)= it is=20 very close to 137.770kHz by zero beating the signal. It would be helpful= to=20 get a semi-local with accurate frequency calibration to confirm the exac= t=20 frequency. I may try measuring the offset from one of the strong commerc= ial=20 signals and see if I can get a closer figure although I am going away fo= r a=20 week so this will have to wait until I get back.

QRSS60 would be= too=20 wobbly with the crystal/divider arrangement I currently have. Even QRSS3= 0 was=20 marginal (wobbly) with G3WCB and PA3CPM. At the moment the beacon board= is=20 just sitting on the desk in the open air and I suspect the crystal frequ= ency=20 moves a few Hz (before division) as I wave my arms typing this. There is= also=20 temperature drift as the PA keys on. All can be much improved.

F1= AFJ is=20 not in the best direction for the loop antenna, but I am an=20 optimist.

Hello Roger,

What mea= ns close?=20 Is it above 770 so i am looking for you :-) Maybe the first RX station= s can=20 confirm the actual frequency, if unknown so far.

73, GL,=20 Stefan

PS: QRSS60 would be more useful for all the grabbers. I= see a=20 goog chance that you can appear at F1AFJ!
