Has anyone else tried using a spool of wire as a receive antenna on the VLF bands? I just tried a ~500' spool of 22g wire on a plastic spool and it hears pretty darn good using WinRad. It is very dir
Hello Stefan, Wow that is good news. Can you try regular CW as well as the usual QRSS? I would hope Mal will hear your signal with that monster of a vertical. Do try to lay out radials in the area be

Wow thank you Jim!!! I used to know how to run Excel many years ago but I don't use it enough to remember how to change things in it. Thank you, Mike WE0H As for the graph, if you click on the X axis
Thanks Wolf, I will wait for version b11. How soon until you get it published? hi hi... Thank you much, Mike WE0H For the impatient, try b10, and load DF6NM's settings (through the file menu, "Load S

Maybe the fuse opened up? hi hi Mike WE0H DHO-38 (23,4 kHz) is OFF since 7 UTC. Does anybodyknow why? Normally there is a braeak between 7 and 8 UTC. I have never seen such a long break yet... 73, St
Do you have trees around where this Inverted L vertical will be? Mike WE0H Thanks for the info. I already have the antenna structure. I either use a toploaded vertical abt 25 m high, or I load a long
Hi Roger, On 600m, I would not worry about using a vertical hanging in trees. On 1750m and 2200m, the vertical's signal will get eaten up by those trees. I am using a 70' inverted L vertical on 600m
Ah yes that NOV thing. Over here 9kc and down is free to use. Bummer for the UK guys stuck with the NOV thing. Mike WE0H Mal wrote: Mike In the UK most are opposed to big signals if what you read on
I did testing several years ago with a 200' TX loop and a 45' vertical with a 72' flattop. The band was 1750 meters. The loop and the vertical were mounted in the woods with 70' plus oak trees. What
Hello Stefan, Here is some real good TX loop reading: http://www.we0h.us/Amateur_Radio_stuff/Transmitting-Loops/Bill-Ashlock-documents/ Bill Ashlock is well known in the USA of his experiments with T
Hi Bob, For sure those Mini Circuits mixers are good. I am laying out a circuit board right now for a transverter that uses one of those. It's the G3XBM 500kc Transverter that Roger designed. http://
Put this in front of the receiver and it'll work to DC. http://sites.google.com/site/g3xbmqrp/Home/saq I think that would be an easy receive converter for someone to build. That way a guy could use h
Try for a two way CW QSO with Mal. If he hears you then it is the end of the story, that antenna works awesome!!! hi hi...If he doesn't hear you then look out folks...hi hi... Mike WE0H 73s Roger G3X
Hi Roger, That is easy to picture in my mind now. Thank you. Mike WE0H You asked about my earth electrode set-up, so I'll try to describe it. At the bottom of the back garden I have a copper earth ro
