Hello James and the group!
Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately I can't copy your signal in the
moment, let's hope for the evening/night.
I'm using my shortwave-antenna, a 55m long endfed wire in about 12m
height as antenna for lf. it's connected to the unsymmetrical input of
the Selective Level Meter. I think using this antenna is the first
problem. Another one ist that I don't have a preamp yet. The 2nd antenna
is a resonant frame antenna with about 1m diameter. Unfortunately I
haven't managed to bring it outside somehow and so I'm using it in the
shack which gives me a lot of QRM, especially from the tube-monitor
(n*75Hz vert. frequenzy).
The Level Meter only has a 22Hz and a 3.1khz filter. I just can use the
3.1 filter which gaves me lot of QRM from DCF39. I have tuned to 137.15
becasue I found that this qrg is quiet (-107dbm) compared to some 100Hz
up and down where the noise level is up to -92dbm. I think this noise is
produced by the carrier of DCF39 somehow.
As you may have noticed, I'm a LF beginner and it seems I have to work
on the sensitivity of my equipment. I'm living 30km north of Vienna and
I think QRN and QRM is not so bad here.
Any suggestions welcome.
Thanks a lot
and 73 de OE3GHB
