Saturday 24 April
Local noise made reception impossible until 1030UTC.
Heard G4GVC (599); G3KEV (599); G6NB (569); G3GRO (599)
and DF2PY (439). "Worked G3BDQ (589/589).
Sunday 25 April
Heard the following in gaps in the local noise: G4GVC (599);
IK4ZPV (219); DF2PY (549).
Saw on Spectrogram screen: IK1ODO ('O').
The local noise problems are getting worse. I now have two TVs,
several computers and a light dimmer causing me trouble. It is very
rare to be able to listen to the atmospheric noise floor. Several
other LF ops have reported the same.
I have tried the noise cancelling approach but the noise is not
strong enough on the "noise antenna" compared to wanted signals.
Fortunately, I have a park at the bottom of my garden so perhaps I
will try the amplified whip approach as far as possible from the
noise sources.
Several more links added to my web site - mostly to US sites
featuring real VLF (down to less than 1Hz!).
