Hello LF-Group,
first of all a very happy New Year to all of you. I
haven't been very active lately but be assured I still watch what is going on on
LF and MF. I am still writing my monthly column for the German ham radio
magazine FUNKAMATEUR so I try to catch news all the time.
Yes, Walter has started his test transmissions as
DI2AG at midnight, January 1st, 2005. I copied his signal on 440.044 kHz
imemdiately (see below). Interesting is the strong fading that goes up and down
every few minutes. On 136 kHz the signal is much
more consistent.
While runing Spectran 2.0 this aftrnoon with a
visible range from 439.990 kHz to 440.080 kHz I saw a signal on
approximately 440.002 kHz that pretty much looked like a kind of QRSS signal
with a dot length of around 15 seconds, however an irregular pattern. Anybody
got an idea what kind of signal this is? There are also at least two NDB signals
around the same frequency but they have a constant carrier.
