Wildwood is still on air now Oct 23rd. The signal was strong in Europe during the last three nights, and also visible in daytime with a flat maximum around noon at midpath. Best regards, Markus (DF6N
Hi Paul, looks like you picked up G3XDV in Opera-32 mode. Sidebands are from the 8.192 s AM modulation. Opds spot from here: 2015-10-23 18:41:35 G3XDV 843km 137508.822Hz 4mHz -29.8dBOp 72% 21.0dB IZ7
Hi Domenico, Paul, good decode again from the first transmission which started accurately at 20:00 UT. I only noticed that I had to reduce the frequency offset by half a milliHz compared to earlier t
Domenico, nil from the 10 Watt transmission at 21:00 UT, only noise. Could you perhaps leave the carrier on during the pause, to let me check signal level and frequency? 73, Markus --Ursprüngliche Mi
Domenico, the QRP carrier is not visible here. The attached spectrum shows a stored peak from a short 100 W carrier around 20:40 (green). The yellow trace is the latest spectrum from approx. 21:30 to
Bingo! Were getting closer to the threshold... no detectable peak in the squared rawsyms spectrum but an instant decode. Very nice! I'm off to bed now but data will be saved during the rest of the ni
Hi Edgar, yes, sure. On the RX side, you could use one of your IDC's with a Rubidium-derived LO (eg 125 kHz), and preferably 1pps lock for the SpecLab samplerate.. On the TX side, a stable and known
Hi Laurence, interesting... are you transmitting into a single dual-resonant antenna? Best 73, Markus --Ursprüngliche Mitteilung-- Von: Laurence KL7 L <[email protected]> An: rsgb_lf_gro
Hi Domenico, for the successful 23 UT decode, error count and symbol EbN0 could be improved by slightly tweaking the time and frequency offsets. Unfortunately, none of the subsequent transmissions (0
Hi Laurence, thanks for the detailed info! Looks like you're set up pretty well to make use of whatever little straw of propagation you can cling to ;-) Reason I asked was that I'd been contemplating
prevent the wind-up of the cable, antenna wire, coax , transmitter, key, operator,... take care ;-) 73, Markus From: DK7FC Sent: Friday, October 30, 2015 8:37 PM To: [email protected] rsg
Hi Stefan, LF group, great news: Michel FR5ZX sent an email confirming that he had actually received DK7FC, his first reception ever on 630m. He mentioned that he is preparing to get on the air himse
Hi Spiros, Stefan, congratulations, very good! The decodes happened at the time of sunrise in La Reunion, which may have boosted the signal a bit. Unfortunately I had closed down early around 23 UT,
Somewhat belated, here's a simple SNR plot of Michel's exceptional receptions last Saturday night. We can see that there was significant QSB but also some shorter steady periods, but it remains quest
Loran Wildwood seems to be active again, leaving strong traces here from 20:30 to 8:30 UT last night. 73, Markus (DF6NM) From: [email protected] Markus Vester Sent: Friday, October 23, 2015 8:45 A

Hi Joe, LF, during the last couple of nights, opds detected all of your transmissions between about 22 and 7:30 UT. Attached is a zoomed 40 mHz section from my opds-32 spectrogram, showing your centr
Here's another plot for FR5ZX decodes showing Thursday / Friday night. Nice to see even more stations making it to La Reunion! Generally I would agree with Alan that low-angle ground reflections from
