Hi Dave, Roger,
 
yes, Loran-C transmitters Anthorn and Lessay do have a line on 137676.423 Hz (ie. 18534 times 50000 / 6731), confirming Dave's frequency calibration. I have recentered the narrow slot to 137676.0, but now we're surrounded by QRN already.
 
Roger, any chance of moving into the Eu or TA window where Jean-Pierre and others are regularly watching?
 
Best of luck,
Markus (DF6NM)

Roger, LF,
 
Latest screen grab attached. I switched to my 1.2m tuned loop, and your signal improved by at least 3dB, maybe as much as 6 dB. See attached screenshot.
 
BTW, I make your frequency to be 137676.0. I have a small frequency error which makes signals read high by 0.3 Hz. The line at 137680.40 is a locally generated signal in 137680.0, which is pretty accurate.
 
The line appearing at 137676.8 (137676.5 actual) is a mystery - maybe it's a Loran line.
 
How many watts are you puttting into your loop?

My QRSS30 (slow CW) LF beacon will continue until this evening. Only one report so far G3WCB at 101km.

Message:       XBM in QRSS30, pause, then G3XBM in 10wpm
Freq:             137.6748kHz
ERP:             50uW (antenna 80sq m vertical loop)
Location:       JO02dg, Burwell Cambs

Any reports and screen grabs would be much appreciated.
