On 137 kHz the FT817 RX is unusable and I've been trying with a simple SBL1 up-converter with some post mixer gain...... Roger, I have a FT817 I bought used a few years ago. I got a real deal on it b
I have a 1936 edition of Electrical Engineers Handbook by Pender - McIlwain which show a diagram of a 1030 foot antenna in Budapest used on 545 kc. So far I have found no history on this antenna. Any

Laurie, I would not have seen your signal if you were on or below 135.921. I was running Argo in 60 second dot mode and was only viewing from .921 to .924. I had selected this so I could see both you
Thanks Larry, I found the space signals also. Here is another shot showing your signal at 660 Hz along with DCH39 at 1700 Hz. I could probably hear your signal with a cat whisker! http://dmcintyre.ho
