Only indirectly related but the North East/South West trans Atlantic paths between Uk and Antarctica (6734S 6808W) in Northern Hem winter times 1979/80 (same sort of flux as now?) produced near night
Im on route to Costa Rica but the receive system is on (TS 870 and Cap top, bottom loaded resonated vertical at 90ft) and capture will remain on until my return to Alaska on 3rd Feb. Ill have a few J
From : Laurence KL1X, BP 41 XD, 10 Kms W Anchorage.(was AL1V till yesterday) Using a number of sources including the German data txm on 138.8XKhz, conditions to EU long haul continue to be depressed
Poor overnight here - weak fast fading LF bcst 150-200Khz, no Eu noise band on 137.774 6/7. One good piece of news - the power company has now removed 3 x overhead street lights at the bottom of my d
Not a good night up here either. No "Eu" noise band seen on 137 7746/7and only very weak signals on bcst from Eu 150-200KHz and DCF39 - Nothing seen from Brian. Have a nice day from a rainy Anchorage
Worst night for a week or so up here - DCF came out the noise for about 30 mins at 0330 then dived down. Weak and watery Eu LF Bcst. Even my noise bar on 137 774.6 was poor. . Still logging. I have a
I was late getting back from a Mexican.....Im seeing Brian LDO's carrier but its suffering from a lot of doppler - Laurie AQC Carrier is in my favorite crud locale in 774.6/7 The doppler is really hu
Thanks Alan for your comments- This 137Khz band has more modes and variability than 50Mhz, and some remarkable but distant similariities....Ill be erecting another loop today if I can persuade this l
I would concur with Steve - given my limited experience here, last night wasn't that glorious - but a lot better (is "better" a scientific word?)...static levels even up here in Anchorage were high b
Lots of spread on DCF39 at the moment 0300Z - S5 - who said FSK would be easy. Auroral in nature? (Embedded image moved to file: pic27892.jpg) Laurence KL1X Anchorage JPEG image
Conditions "up North" Last night 20th Feb 03 - well nothing to write home up here Im afraid, but were improved a bit over the past days if DCF39 is used as a target. Using 2Khz b/w on the 870 I can r
Dear all - A disappointing nights reception here in Alaska but congrats to those who made something of it. Conditions from midnight till 0800Z were the worst Ive seen for a number of weeks - DCF39 ra
You wrote - Hi Laurence, I connected with you at abt 2330UTC and shot the attached spectrum (SpeLab). is that the true spectrum you get out of ur RX ? lot of lines! Regards Uwe/dj8wx From Laurence -
European overnight signals were mixed with fast and deep QSB - DCF39 peaked at 0400Z for about 30 minutes (!) at S6 then dived into the noise by 0520Z, not recovering by European dawn. Southern LF Bc
Fine Peter - have a look at this. Lets hope condx stay good. Echolink - one of the new IP based radio communication tools http://www.synergenics.com/ - you can download from there Basically using a r
Dear all - LF Conditions deteriorated overnight, the quasi-peak on DCF39 was at 0030-0130Z when it reached "S6-7" (S7 being a relative strength and NOT reference to a known -dBm figure) - then slow Q
Monday morning 0200Z 17th Feb DCF39 is up to S7 at the moment at 0200Z 17th - good s/n. (thats 1556 and full daylight/sun here) Listening 137.7735 +- 1Hz. Avoid 137.7727 due to Loran from 9990 Nth Pa
Ed - Rx set up here the most excellent Argo (thanks!) TS870, background noise at 137Khz is "S3" (where S3 is yet to be found -dBm figure but probably not a high figure!) 100m LDF450a, two inverted L
