Hi James ,
I would like to receive you on the 71KHz in QRSS mode.
I'm receiving 60KHz 59+20.
I use a SO42P converter and an inverted L antenne (137 KKz) with a 13mH
coil.
I saw that Valerio received you.
When could you send in beacon mode?
What is you frequency?

Dear LF group,
Thanks to all those who sent reports of my 73kHz signals last night.
I gather DF6NM was trying to call me for a cross-band QSO;
unfortunately I was not actually set up for X-band operation last
night, so was not able to see Markus' signal, but I will certainly sort
this out in time for next Friday, or any time people would like to try
for a sked.
I did not hear anyone else on 73kHz last night - however I did hear
a signal that was new to me. It was on about 71.70kHz, and
consisted of short "pips", a bit like one of the time signal stations,
except that there were about 40 pips per minute, which seems like
an awkward number for a time signal. It was barely audible on the
transmit antenna, but was several dB above the noise on the loop
antenna. Some pips were louder than others, a bit like the Russian
Alpha VLF beacons speeded up. I tried nulling the signal with the
loop - it was hard to find a null due to the noise from Rugby, but
was roughly north-east/south-west from my QTH. It was still there
today. Has anyone else heard this? Any ideas?
Cheers, Jim Moritz
