Hi All Does anyone know which kite type/size is best for antenna work. I think possible the delta type but others with kite flying experience might know different. I am looking for a kite to carry an
There is an article on kites for lifting antennas in last month's (or it may be the month before) QST. It shows a design for a simple to make, serious lifting power kite. Can't remember the type off
Everybody who is involved in extreme narrowband mode such as QRSS and DFCW will confirm that signals that are 10 to 20dB below the 'normal CW' detectable level can still be copied and lead to a QSO.
What lights should be displayed at night by an airship not under power being towed by a marine tug? The same lights that would be used for an aeroplane under tow. The lights must be on day and night
Some weeks ago someone (G3YXM ?) reported hearing CW arround 80kHz. Last night (+/- 22UT) I could heard just the end of a CW message followed by a carrier (gave listening to that after abt. 10 minut
I reported this cw signals a few weeks ago. I discovered it tuning across the band. The signal is very strong S9 plus with me. Some times there is rtty on the freq, cw other times and idles on carrie
[Soegiono, Gamal] Hello Rik and all, Confirm receiption of a 2-tone FSK signal on 82k8 (approx) which just fits into 200 Hz of IF BW. According to well informed ITU persons this might be (1) GYW on
G3KEV replied: On the contrary, Had you been listening today you might change your mind. I tuned to a weak steady carrier and the QRN was so consistant that it chewed it up completely. Not just inte
Apart from a message from Lech about towing Jumbo Jets those with professional kite flying ability seemed scarce. The few private replies were more related to toy kites, and not capable of lifting an
The special event station DF2BC/P - DQ0KBM is up and running with a big signal this morning. I was his first qso at 0921 utc/12052000. Reports 599 each way. He had not finished the installation compl
Info to Ali if you are able to read this message. IK5ZPV was calling you yesterday morning and OH1TN was calling you last night but you did not hear either. They were both good signals with me. IK5ZP
Has anyone mentioned to Larry about the possibility of high static levels in November around the UK and the rest of Western EU. The best time for transatlantic tests would be January/February. Octobe
Dear LF Group, This weekend, I am hoping to make another expedition to the Puckeridge Decca station, which has been made available again through the good offices of G3JKV and the Crawley club. The m
Dummy load is the significant part of this statement because some low antennas including yours are but dummy loads. I am happy that you are saving a file of my observations. I kill all messages when
New stations recently on 136 khz OK1DTN/PA0WFS/DJ7RD. I had the pleasure of being their first UK contacts last weekend but they are active again today with good signals. Other activity heard today HB
The signal from the SMALL mast is 5 db stronger than the LARGE Decca tower. As I mentioned in an earlier bulletin the comparison test is flawed. The large tower is vertical and the small antennas is
Dave and All, There is a simple explanation. I was very busy doing the measurements, changing the receiver input from aerial to signal generator and back, reading levels etc. I therefore did not lis

Hi Larry. 3C5 ferrite cores are manufactured by Ferroxcube and have a Uo of 3000. The equivalent is Indiana General 05P. This core material was used a lot in line output transformers in tube televisi
