Well done, congratulations to the four of you! I
would absolutely agree with Stefan that the traces from Joe and Spiros in
America are beyond doubt, and they also perfectly line up with local Eu
captures. Note that Spiros is quite a bit
further than us here, and the ground reflection after his first hop is on
land.
Thanks Stefan for mentioning mine among
the "strong stations", but I have to say that I am not even hoping to come near
that attribute. Actually in my opinion, the "warming of the ionosphere"
by your powerful and consistent beacon signal is quite
valuable for us weak ones:
- it's a very useful indication of propagation
versus noise level on the other side. By the thickness of Stefan's
dogbones, we know when we might become barely visible
;-),
- it provides a perfect time and
frequency frame to which we can reference lonely bright pixels
and partial traces,
- it is an incentive for potential remote receivers
to run their spectrograms and grabbers,
- and last not least, being shown what can be done is a motivation
for us to learn and improve our modest setups.
So let me say thanks to all
involved, for keeping this hard but wonderful band so much alive.
Best 73,
Markus (DF6NM)

John Jay, Joe, Spiros, LF,
Jay, John, thanks for
capturing our signals from EU.
And congrats to DF2JP for beeing received
at W1VD, not bad for almost May! Looks like Joe counts to the strongest LF stns
here in DL, apart from DF6NM and me.
About the traces of SV8CS at W1TAG,
i find the traces are quite clear. And i would vote for calling this an official
detection of SV8CS in the US. Distance is 7491 km, http://no.nonsense.ee/qthmap/?qth=FN42CH&from=km07js,
very impressing!
So my congrats to Spiros!
What do others think about
this detection?
Looks like it was a successful night on LF :-)
73,
Stefan/DK7FC

Spiros,
I received an interesting signal last night. If you compare the screen
shots at G4WGT:

to the screen shot at WTAG:
http://www.w1tag.com/files/W1TAG-SV8CS.jpg
you will note a correlation in frequency and in part of the "8" and
part of the "C" in your callsign.
This does NOT prove reception, but
suggests that the signal may have been there. Conditions were fairly quiet
here last night, and the Dst has recovered to reasonable levels.
John,
