I hope we can catch possible irregularities on your signal tomorrow morning. Of course it would be ideal to have that straight carrier - considering your usual signal strength you would probably still be easily observable if you reduced your power by a factor of two pr three. >> >> All the best, >> Markus >> >> >> >> From: jcraig@mun.ca >> Sent: Friday, March 20, 2015 1:04 AM >> To: rsgb_lf_group@blacksheep.org >> Subject: LF: Eclipse/137.777 kHz >> >> >> Dear Group, >> >> A trip up the hill in deep snow with a wattmeter confirmed the >> RL was seriously detuned with ice.
