Hi Stefan,
The stn was on the air from yesterday 1442UTC
until today 0856UTC
and sporadic ZOA in mode QRS30.
I didnt measure the PA output and I didnt measure the
aerial current.
matching coils and PA are located in a shed at abt 90m
from the shack.
the shed is shut. the key is somewhere hidden.
but Im doing something else: Im trying to meassure the FS
using calibrated aerial and RX (ESH3).
but until now the noise makes the results problematic.
so I have to increase the output pwr step by step (day by
day).
old days max pwr is not reached today. I estimate todays
output pwr of 450W.
the max would be 750W.
750W is the limit because otherwise (751W) my
XYL would agn shriek when touching her metal garden
tools.
Oh horror: neighbors boy climbed our fence and
asked my wife if the fence wire is electric. No, she said,
it isnt.
Secretly I connected a phasing tester to the
fence wire: yes, it was (electric).

Betreff: VLF: DJ8WX
VLF,
Today DJ8WX is as strong as before (March 2011). About 20 dB SNR
in 47
uHz and traces in the 600-window.
Uwe, what is yout TX power and antenna current? What does your
wife
think about that? :-)
