This looks like another weekend with reasonably low morning QRN levels. The
activity on Sunday morning seemed to start at 0543Z (My over-night log using
FFTDSP4....I wasn't up to copy it!!) I was just about copying DJ5KW on QRS
but wasn't sure who it was until Dave worked Geri at about 0745Z. Geri was
just showing above the noise but a lot of the dashes were corrupted. This
looks good as my rx set-up is at least 20dB down on most TX-active stations
so I reckon you will soon work some more Gs Geri. Someone looked to be about
100 to 150 hz below the band at about 0620 to 0623Z..... whoops!
As I type this(about 1950Z) I can see Wolf CQing on 136.8 but difficult to
copy as there are a lot of static crunches, not strong but running together.
I have a report from F5MLP, Alain, via packet who has just hoisted a
300 metre wire!! tuned with 2.5mH and 1200pF, if I understand correctly.
He is most disappointed as he only hears DCF39 at S8. He is using an FT 980,
and I suggested that some of the general coverage receivers are not at their
best down in the 136kHz range. I do not know his locator but he uses a
German
BBS, so is presumably somewhere near the border.I have pointed him to the
web sites and the reflector. I don't think he has a permit yet for LF. He
reports G3XTZ at 209 to 309 on Saturday, so I guess that like me he needs to
increase his sensitivity on rx.
