Dear LF Group,
I was able to get reasonable field strength measurements of the two 73k
beacons last night-
G3AQC -93dBuV/m, 22uV/m
G3LDO -95dBuV/m, 18uV/m
Don't have distance info to hand, but if you have d in km, E in uV/m, ERP
is (E^2.d^2)/(49x10^6). You would have to add in any effects of ground wave
losses also. My QTH is in IO91VR.
Also, when I got home last night just after 2200, heard a nice 559 "test"
signal from IK5ZPV on a new RX loop I had left set up for testing. Not sure
if this indicates good loop performance, or good propagation or both.
Ther was also a new QRSS signal I have not seen before, a little below
136.0 kHz, just after 2300 (see attachment). Dot length was about 1second -
can anyone identify ? :-)
Cheers, Jim Moritz
