Hi Steve, I found a lack of sensitivity with my 1.8 - 160MHz Welz SWR/PWR meter on 630m, so not much good for a few watts, probably OK with high power. I found the best solution was to build one. Chr
Is this something new? I have always, for years, got a copy of my own messages back. Chris, G4AYT. -- Original Message -- From: "M0FMT" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Su
Hi Jacek, Strange, if anything I get the opposite problem - I often get the same mail twice!! No idea why. Regarding the list being quieter, I would suggest that's because it has become dominated by
Strange how my 'test only' message yesterday came through but my previous two messages did not. My previous two messages were requesting a reminder about how to unsubscribe from this group. I have se
Hi Mal, Heard you calling CQ yesterday afternoon (Friday), called you half a dozen times but you didn't hear me. Worked G100RSGB at 599 both ways. CW activity is disappointingly poor on the 472kHz ba
Hi, Yesterday evening saw G4WGT, good signal, and BHZ (presumed SM6BHZ - why not the full call?), very good signal, 503.60kHz and 504.50kHz respectively. Copy using Argo, QRSS3, 132ft wire and IC718.
Hello Mal, G3KEV, I don't have NOV for 500kHz but enjoy listening. Happy to discuss by e-mail direct. I agree there is a problem with 'beacons'. Yesterdays long S9+ beacon signal was a nuisance to me
G3KEV, I thought you made your point on this some days ago, resulting in a clogging up of this refelector with increasingly silly comments. Chris, G4AYT.
Hello All, Has anybody compiled a list of 500kHz and/or 136kHz beacons, frequency, operating times, modes etc.? Seems to me such a list would be very useful, especially in the light of recent exchang
Hello Ken, Been following your exchanges. I find GI4DPE is not a reliable consistent signal here, last evening I could not hear him. The strongest signal here, in fact it was overwhelmingly strong la
Hi All, SAQ excellent signal here this morning 100% audible copy. Unfortunately didn't think to record it and had visitor at the time which made things difficult, so can't supply text. Result with Ar
Hi All! Heard G3XIZ calling CQ during afternoon. 'RUD strongest signal on band evening, closely followed by GI4DPE. Strangely nothing heard form 'KEV. Vy 73, Chris, G4AYT, Whitstable, Kent, (JO01MI).
Hello Tim, My ATU is really a large matching coil. It consists of 130 turns of insulated solid copper wire on an 11.5cm dia. cardboard former (carpet roll centre) tapped every ten turns (course tunin
Hi all, Nice to hear so much activity on 500kHz yesterday in the UK. G3UNT in the afternoon, GI4DPE, G3XIZ, G3LDO and G3KEV in the evening - ALL good audible signals. Great. Vy 73, Chris, G4AYT, Whit
Hi Markus! Looks like it probably was you then, that's good. It was near enough the right frequency. I wont be around now until middle of next week. If you would like to TX again after that I will ta
Hi Mal, Thanks for your comments. I have been checking 135.9 for last hour or so, can't find anything there. Does that mean I have a problem? The signal on 138.83 is massive. Yes, the sort of thing I
Hi All, Thanks to those who commented about my 'mystery' signal - Andy (KU4XR), Markus (DF6NM) and John (F5VLF). I agree the first letter looks like 'F'. I don't think the timings are quite right for
