I now recall a couple occasions in the last few weeks where I noticed the GPS unlocked. The problem must be worse than I thought. Tonight (~0100Z) I'll go out and check the GPS system or swap it with a second GPS. Is 8270.0 good? The TX is located some distance from me, so during the week I'm=20 not there full time.

Then it vanishes for a few hours. Perhaps shifted to a frequency outside the narrow band I'm using? Also the phase is changing. Those phase changes are causing the apparent spread in the long narrow spectrum. The pattern at Forest VA is similar but the signal is weaker so harder to measure. I'd guess, an intermittent GPS lock. When it works, it works well, a really good signal. No sign of the signal here in Todmorden (8300 km), not much chance until the tx is firmly locked, frequency and phase. Then there will be a good chance I think. -- Paul Nicholson -- ------=_Part_22989_535874611.1518214729316 Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Jim,
