Hi all readers,
Thanks to all who tried to receive ZM2E. It seems that VK6 is our furthest
reception report so far. We had fairly good LF DX last night, receiving
something from every R6L beacon. See the attached Argo graphic, timed at
1812z, a few minutes before ZL sunrise. It shows beacon IDs of L, A and W,
and frequency included. We could copy L at 30 second dot length (we had two
receivers and three PC, so had multiple sessions of Argo running, for
bandwidth and dot length options).
ZM2E average QRN was fairly low all weekend, and we used noise blanking to
reduce impact of static bursts. At ZL sunrise we got readability 3 by ear
for EU AM broadcast stations on 153 and 171 kHz. Also plenty of galloping
horses for SSB reception on 100 kHz. All reception via the wire antenna
tuned for 137 kHz.
ZM2E operators were Mike ZL4OL, David ZL4TAC and Bob ZL2CA.
73, Bob ZL2CA
