Hello Graham, Hello Andy,
reading about your activities concerning
Multi-function beacon I tried yesterday evening to catch your signals, but
unfortunately with no results copying your sig. May be condx were not good
enough. Moreover I had some bad manmade QRM from TV and PC.
As Rob Hemesley told you I am active in 5-MHz-beaco-
monitoring specially concerning scattergram monitoring in order to analyse
signal path situation (direct wave / sky wave behaviour).
But I am running both analysis software, GB3RAL.exe
and Scattergram.exe and it would not be any problem to modify the internal
PC-clock specially regarding GB3RAL.exe in order to analyse the long term signal
level of your Multi-function beacon. So I will try to continue monitoring your
Multi-function beacon hopefully that condx will be better in the next evening
sessions (hi).
If there will be Scattergram acties in future I
certainly need some more dB signal level, but it would be very interesting to
investigate the signal path situation.
Of course, this is more interesting for those participants
who are located in a distance range between 150 and 300 km in order to monitor
the slide crossover from direct wave to sky wave signal path.
However, thank you very much for implementation
of your very interesting Multi-function beacon project and I will keep on
running my monitoring activities and will inform you in any case about further results.
vy 73 and a lot of success by running Multi-function
beacons, I will be “on the qui vive” !!!

By the way:
Dial frequency 505.2 kHz, is that o.k.? (because
GB3RAL.exe is decoding with 1500 Hz too).
For BPSK31-decoding I am using DigiPan Vers.2.0
================================
So far so good .. quite a step up in signal round 2100
hrs
no frequency decode before then , 15 db over noise at 2130
