Re: LF: Re: Activity from Deutschlandfunk Antenna

["Brian Rogerson" <brian@esoterica.pt>]

To all the German operators my sincere thanks and very well done.
There is an Argo-gram of DF6NM/P on my web pages.

To Mal, providing the calibration of my system is not too far off
the highest field strength received was -2dBuV/m at 11:54utc and
I was only "just" hearing some of the transmission in the noise.  The
noise floor is -10dBuV/m in 1Hz always remembering the sampling
parameters set within SpecLab.  Do you really think that I would
even be able to find a 1watt ERP transmission at over 1000Km
with ears alone during daylight?

Nevertheless I was overjoyed to actually "hear" an LF transmission
for the first time and copy "BMU" during the QSO with Jim.

Thanks again for an exciting day, Brian
