From Dave G3YMC As one of those 'friends' perhaps I should comment! Mal will presumably expect his large 'normal' antenna to outperform a loop at the same location unless it is very large, as he has
From Dave G3YMC Thanks for the detailed analysis of TV etc interference to 136. I see drifty lines with 50Hz and 100Hz spacing, but a quick check at lower frequencies with teh Rx or SA shows that the
From Dave G3YMC Further to the discussion on loop inductance and various related matters, a couple of weeks ago Mike Underhill G3LHZ gave a talk at our Bracknell Amateur Radio Club on loops. Some of

I assume this agrees with the theory Alan has previously made that a peak on 136 precedes the start of a solar storm. There appears to be a complete wipe out on the HF bands this morning (Thursday) s

In case some of you have not heard my signals on 136 recently, I have taken a temporary break. Now that my Elecraft K2 hf transceiver is working I am having a ball on the HF bands working the world w
But if Jim reads my posting again he will note that I made no reference whatsoever to bandplans, or any implication of them. I am also puzzled why he discussed this. I understand the German licence h
I see from yesterday's ARRL Letter that the proposal for the USA 136 band is for 1W ERP and bandwidth less than 100Hz. I am puzzled why they are putting this stipulation on bandwidth, which I do not
Nothing whatsoever to do with 136, but you might find the picture of GW4ALG bicycle portable at http://www.sota.org.uk/ of interest. Dave G3YMC [email protected][email protected] http://www.d
From Dave G3YMC The noise canceller which Steve GW4ALG designed is derived from Harry PA0LQ's version with ideas from other sources - this can be found in the RSGB Low Frequency Experimenter's Handbo
I have updated the loops pages on my website (http://www.dsergeant.btinternet.co.uk/loops.htm) with new information supplied by Mike G3LHZ, and would appreciate comments. It seems activity on 136 is
Well Walter was coming in well over S9 most of Wednesday, as predicted a pretty big signal. He seemed to be suffering with the same problem which has blighted all these big tower operations however -
Some of you may not have heard the sad news about John, which was forwarded to individual emails and not the reflector. I am sure we would all have John's family in our thoughts. A big loss for LF. D
I shall also not be attending the forum. I am taking part in the Low Power contest on 80m/40m as G3YMC/P. 73s Dave G3YMC [email protected][email protected] http://www.dsergeant.btinternet.co.

Some on this reflector and on air mentioned they would be interested in the 5W VXO rig I have been using on the 5MHz band. You will find this and some information on the band at http://www.dsergeant.
A few minutes ago I worked my first 5 mhz CW qso with a GM station. There are a lot of CW qso's taking place at the moment on the new 5 mhz band, who said CW was dead!!!!!! It looks like quite a few
