OK Graham
500 is dead around here I can't use it if I want what BT laughably calls Broadband because 500 knocks it right out for days owing to the very slow recovery time of their clapped out DSLAMs. However 136 seems OK at the current power level which is in the 50W region at the moment. 138 being the notch between upstream and down stream ADSL spectrum whereas 500 sits right in the middle of the down stream spectrum and even a couple of Watts at the input terminals of the ATU completely flattens it. It is seen as noise on the circuit which automatically reduces data rate to maintain communication allbeit at a very slow speed. Trouble is it just doesn't come right back up when the 500 signal goes off it stays down for days so I complain then they switch it back up again manually. Even spark transmissions from O/H11kV lines trigger it.
I see DI2AM (505.180+/-) coming in well on Gary's grabber and Stefan on 136.1725+/- also, so things aren't too bad at the moment.
Ok Pete ..never had much luck on 137 ..but 500 is well down at the moment ..

Thanks for the report Jim
Have raise the antenna by 1.5m. But not as good into G4wgt as I was a few months ago. Could be conditions? QRT now. 73 es GL Pete M0FMT IO91UX47VN --- On Tue, 23/8/11, James Moritz <[email protected]> wrote:

Dear Pete, LF Group,
Your (M0)FMT QRSS beacon was "O" copy about 5uV/m here near Hatfield at about 1630utc.
Cheers, Jim Moritz
