Thanks to you all for all the feedback - most encouraging so I will press on Claudio said: I'm using Netscape 4.61 and Linux. Components annotations are not clear on the crt and on the hardcopy also
I have made a start on the digest of technical material on the e-mail reflector. This first bit concerns active antennas (the one of the Decca antenna amp kindly redrawn by John, G4CNN). I would be i
There has been quite a response with requests for the Decca active antenna amplifier circuit. I felt that the best plan is to put it on the Web site at http://web.ukonline.co.uk/g3ldo/ Regards, Peter
Just completed a QRSS cross-band QSO with VE1ZZ (0030z on 21/2/01). He was on his usual frequency of 136.5kHz with 3s dots and I was on 3512kHz. LF conditions were poor and although we started at 220

CONGRATULATIONS to you Laurie, and Larry on your transatlantic QSO. Could you confirm you have the start date correct because Larry was QRT on 10 and 11th due to power failure and on the 14th to the
If I can get myself out of bed in time in the morning I will switch on the LF transmitter to send G3LDO with 30 sec dots. The frequency will be 135.921kHz provided the sub zero temperature in the LF
It has been mentioned several times that the input stage of an active receiving antenna is easily damaged by lightning in the vicinity due to the very high input impedance of the amplfier. Several y
The Addendum and Errata to the LF book has been updated and is on http://web.ukonline.co.uk/g3ldo In particular the S/W for the 3-M impedance measuring box can be downloaded. Regards, Peter, G3LDO
I notice a few people have been having problems with insulators melting/cracking lately. I had problems with my insulators until I fitted some corona rings. ..... I haven't had problems with corona
Brilliant effort, just shows that a full 2-way can be done, indeed HAS been but for a bit of 80mtrs which can only have made it more difficult! The idea of the remote receiver was not mine; it was J
I hope to join the QRSS tests tonight now that the DDS exciter is working. My original frequency for these tests was 135.913 but as all the signals seem to snuggled together around .923 I have alloca
I have just built a DDS signal generator based on a PIC16F84 and an AD9850 with a backlit Hitachi LCD display; and using surface mount technology throughout. (don't fall off you chair with surprise A
I have been told by the UKonline technical support that they have now fixed the e-mail system but that it will take a short time to process the backlog of e-mail. I'll give them another chance. Regar
I sent this report on Saturday but it only found its way to Steve; so I am trying to resend it. The problems with this e-mail system seem to be confined to reception so I am reading the reflector via
I will be over at Amberley Museum tomorrow. The purpose is to check out the antenna, which was resited after being brought down by strong winds before Christmas. I will be making some impedance measu

Adding an amplitude measurement capability to Argo/Spectran sounds like an excellent idea - it would enable a meaningful measurement of relative signal strengths to be made. DL4YHF's Spectrum Lab has

Hi Rik I run WOLF under Win98. Try to open an MS-DOS window and start WOLF from there. Thanks. Yes that did the trick. I must get the .wav file and see how it goes. Regards, Peter, G3LDO e-mail <g3ld
