They all were QRT for some weeks, probably for maintenance purposes or to save the energy, HI. The Alphas are OFF too, since yesterday. I'm using a cheap GPS module (http://cgi.ebay.de/Jupiter-Rockwell-TU30-D420-031-GPS-Empfanger-/180713452906?pt=DE_GPS_Navigationssysteme&hash=item2a135c756a) which has a 10 kHz locked Ref frequency output. It runs 24/7 without problems for longer than a year now... 73, Stefan/DK7FC Am 23.08.2011 13:51, schrieb Chris 4X1RF: > VLF, > > GQD has been off since yesterday morning around 8 GMT.
