Dear LF group,
I transmitted my usual beacon signal (5 x 110s dashes and
spaces, 400s gap containing 6wpm station ID), on 135.923kHz
between 2000 and 0130 last night. It was raining a lot, and one of
the insulators on the antenna melted, which is why I shut down
early.
I received a very welcome report from Dexter, W4DEX, and an
Argo (mode:60s dots, fast) screen shot showing my signal as
received around 0100. The sequence of 5 dashes is very clear,
and the CW ID shows up as a shorter dot in the right place. This is
the first time my signal has been positively identified in the USA, so
many thanks to Dexter.
Cheers, Jim Moritz
