Season's greetings to all,
I have had permission from the UK
Meteorological Office to transmit VLF from 27th December to 3rd
January.
I shall be transmitting at odd times between these dates and
will give more specific details via the reflector.
Location: IO
92 UB
Freq: 8.9719
kHz
Mode: QRSS (using variable
speeds)
Power: 50 watts
RF
Aerial: 40m end fed inverted 'L' ,
height 10m
I have increased power and plan on occasion (weather
dependent) to use a captive balloon aerial, height about 50m.
My best
'DX' to date is Dennis M0JXM at 1.5 km; many thanks Dennis.
Pete
M0FMT has made considerable efforts to receive my signals, even driving
around in his car with a laptop PC but so far
results have been less
than spectacular.
Knowing Pete he will not be disheartened.
Roger
G3XBM and Jim G7NKS have also been trying to receive me, and themselves
transmitting on VLF.
I believe that they will both be QRV over the Xmas
break.
Locally, Nick G4IKZ is making considerable efforts to receive
me.
Many thanks for the encouragement and advice from reflector
members; this is always welcome.
Let's hope that I manage to get some
more reports (and a few more km) before long.
