Congratulations John and Jim! John, you were not without competition but my Jason had both hands tied behind his back. I have a strong signal dead on 137.500 and the QRN sounds like a summer evening
Can anyone explain the dip in this HBG plot that occurred at 0300 last night? http://www.w4dex.com/75khz/hbg15dec02.jpg Current HGB plot updated every 5 minuets is available at: http://www.w4dex.com/
Sounds good Laurie. I'm off chasing TAG running his DDS exciter on 185.2 KHz now. GN, Dex Hi Dex, I just got home (12:10),I think its too late to set anything up for tonight. Perhaps tomorrow would b
QRN here in NC is about gone but the K it up. If anyone would like to transmit I will be glad to set up. Will run overnight in auto mode if desired. Dex
Nothing seen on 137.500, either on Jason or Argo screens as of 0255, so I'm going to quit for the night. Same here. Looks like this wet noise generator in headed toward Tagland. Dex
I will run a Jason mode beacon on 137.500kHz tonight, over at least 2300 - 0200 utc - any reports will be welcome. Lots of QRN here tonight from a front just south east of my location. I don't expec
What signal strength level on your plot indicates an 'opening' on 72kHz? Does the Rugby RTTY station on 73.2kHz follow the same pattern? Peter, I can't answer these questions now but hopefully we wil
The HBG plotting is now running on a complete dedicated system. The graph is now calibrated and reads actual input power into the 75 ohm terminated input of the HP SLM. I finally figured out how to u
Good signals from G3AQC and G3LDO into North Carolina last night on 72.4 KHz even with moderate QRN. One capture with notes can be seen at: http://www.w4dex.com/argo/11dec02/72khz11dec02.jpg The over
QSL. I'll keep it running and posting to: http://www.w4dex.com/argo/72khz.jpg Hi Dex, I see from your 2350 capture that you are getting some of my transmission also traces of Peter,so I will continue
Mike and Peter, I completed the move of my best receive loop to hopefully a quieter location. It is now about 100 meters from the house. I am still receiving QRN from a few storms about 500 km to my
Dave's signal was identifiable here last night. Looks like the Kp briefly dipped to 2 about this time. See Dave's signal at: http://www.gostanly.com/w4dex/argo/g3yxm08dec02.jpg Markus's frequency was
I copied a few good elements of your signal about 0130. Saw traces of your signal at other times. Thanks for the transmission. Dex Hi John and all, Sorry am having to close down there is an intermitt
Most of us have seen it before and probably will again. But for those who haven't seen the results of freezing rain here's a directory which contains a few of the many pictures I taken in the past se
Laurie, We are experiencing a major ice storm here in NC. The AC power was lost due to falling tree limbs about 3 a.m. local time. The server, which is also at my location, is on a UPS but it will on
The SPM-19 lives! Thanks to Jim Moritz, I was able to locate the problem in the 40.01 MHz 2nd LO PLL circuit. A 2N918 transistor on the PLL board was open. Replaced it with a NTE161 and now the VCO i
Jim, Thanks for the info. This SPM-19 does have the audio output circuit which I suspect should produce a 1750 Hz audio tone when the unit is tuned to an exact frequency. I believe that was the stand
