Forest VA KE4RJQ - http://abelian.org/vlf/tmp/141220b.png Tx switches off about 11:00 UT so I guess the weather has turned bad at W4DEX. Todmorden - was a bit weaker here too but good S/N continues until carrier off at 11:00 http://abelian.org/vlf/tmp/141220c.png No results from DL4YHF at Bielefeld, the receiver has developed a fault. That's probably the end of this run of tests. The tx at W4DEX has done very well, running for many hours with no problems and giving a regular repeatable signal in the UK and frequent detections in Germany and Italy. I wonder if anyone will be tempted to try the more difficult east-to-west path this winter? -- Paul Nicholson http://abelian.org/ --
