I can confirm the 'strange' propagation last monday as I heard DF2PY CQ-ing with unusual strong and fast QSB (from S5 to S9 in 1 minute). During a short period where Wolf's signal was S9 I could even
Last night (01-04) arround 19.30UT I saw a very weak QRS signal at a few Hz above 137700. I got only the end of the transmission : KR K Little later I saw Toni (HB9ASB) CQ-ing at 137720. Anyone knows
Hello all, I just noticed that the homepage of the LCWA has moved to http://www.lwca.org/ Seems to be a lot faster than before. 73, Rik Rik Strobbe ON7YD [email protected] Villadreef 14
The weekend started very quite with little activity on friday and saturday, and even less on Easter. But a very busy band on monday ! Stations heard/seen in 'slow CW' : HB9ASB (529), G0MRF (M), DJ5BV
Hi all, when DA0LF was testing last weekend I encountered a problem which was rather new to me: pile-ups in SLOW-CW! I know how to handle this in regular CW - but even though I was able to hear 4 sta
Last night (8 april) I could hear I5MXX several times between 19.40 and 21.10 UT, calling CQ. All the time the signal was very close to the noise (and quite heavy QRN). The report was between 329 and
Yesterday night, I did not write down the time but th ink it was about 2300 UTC, I heard a station with a good RST559 signal sending in what I recognized as a Scandinavion language. He was obviously
Now the band gets also busy here in Central Europe. Last weekend I've heard 17 different callsigns and sometimes it sounded like a "dialogue des sourdes": Strong signals but they did not hear each ot

Oops ... re-reading Dick's message I just saw that I misinterpreted something : I thought the given dBm values were already corrected for the 'antenna-gain' (or better loss, -33dB), but they are not
Rather quite weekend with much less activity than the weekends before. Stations 'seen' in slow-CW : DF3LP (529), DK8KW (419), HB9ASB (539), IK1ODO (529) Stations heard in 'normal' CW : G3YXM (579), P
Last week I did some RX measurements on my receiver and antenna : 1. The sensitivity of my receiver (Kenwood TS440 - 500Hz CW filter) on 136kHz is 0.5µV (-113dBm) for 10dB S/N. As signal source I use
