Dear Walter, LF Group,

Mal G3KEV has a competitor for the biggest 136 sig in the UK. I heard
MM0ALM wkg DJ9IE yesterday and he was 8 dB stronger than 'KEV here
although almost twice as far away. Said he'd just had a steeplejack in to
mend his antenna - apparently money well spent.
MM0ALM was a very big signal here at the weekend; about 25uV/m near
Hatfield, certainly impressive.
I heard OH5UFO calling CQ using QRSS3 late one night a week or so ago -
also a strong signal. I called him, but got no response, so perhaps Reino
had dozed off - a problem I have had myself more than once :-)
I put together a frequency-shifting device over the weekend; it takes a
signal at about 5kHz from a sound card and shifts it into the 136kHz range.
I hope to use it to do some tests using Jason 0.92 over the next couple of
days - as soon as I remember what all those wires trailing around my shack
do, and figure out a sensible way of connecting it all up!
Cheers, Jim Moritz
