Hi Stefan,
The stn was on the air from yesterday 1442UTC until today
0856UTC
and sporadic ZOA in mode
QRS30.
I didnt measure the PA output and I didnt measure the
aerial current.
matching coils and PA are located in a shed at abt
90m from the shack.
the shed is shut. the key is somewhere
hidden.
but Im doing something else: Im trying to meassure the FS
using calibrated aerial and RX (ESH3).
but until now the noise makes the
results problematic.
so I have to increase the output pwr step by step
(day by day).
old days max pwr is not reached today. I estimate todays
output pwr of 450W.
the max would be
750W.
750W is the limit because otherwise (751W) my
XYL would agn shriek when touching her metal garden
tools.
Oh horror: neighbors boy climbed our fence and asked my
wife if the fence wire is electric. No, she said, it
isnt.
Secretly I connected a phasing tester to the fence wire:
yes, it was (electric).

Betreff: VLF: DJ8WX
VLF,
Today DJ8WX is as strong as before (March 2011). About 20 dB
SNR in 47
uHz and traces in the 600-window.
Uwe, what is yout TX
power and antenna current? What does your wife
think about that?
:-)
