Hi All, I have not been QRV for several months due to other commitments. Today I returned to 136kHz and this is a report of the today's (Sunday) activity. I had been experimenting with an ex-Decca lo
From G4JNT I thought a lot of the early operators on 73kHz (long before this new fangled high frequency 137kHz band arrived :-) came from the microwave bands I came to LF from the upper HF bands (mi
'repeater' and associated events. This is yet one more loss to the band. I had a QSO this evening with Bob G8RW on 1.8 MHz cw, and he gave the reason for giving up 136 kHz as severe QRM from his nei
Dear James, LF group, In the end, I just used the wire from the Decca coil and scrapped the rest. As a former, I found a "sectional manhole" made by Osma was very suitable. This is a brown PVC cylind
Hi John CFH transmitting now on73.8 kHz No chance of hearing it here in the UK due to the monster on 73.3 and its sidebands. Transmitting on 72.4005, QRSS90 I am going on a short vacation from Friday
Hi Will anyone be transmitting tonight? 73 de John VE1ZJ I have just put the transmitter on QRSS90. The frequency counter reports 72.4008kHz. will stay on until after 2359 and later if I get any enco
John It certainly could, providing that I get around to doing it on a regular basis! Assuming that I am identifying the Rugby station properly, it occupies about 100 Hz BW from 73.2 to 73.3 kHz. That
Will anyone be transmittimg on 74 or 136 tonight? 73 de John VE1ZJ I will transmit on 72.4005kHz, QRSS90 from 2200 to 2359UTC Regards, Peter, G3LDO Web <http://web.ukonline.co.uk/g3ldo>
Laurie disappeared over an hour ago, and there was no convincing sign of Peter by that time, so I'll assume that the ionosphere has moved on to deeds of more exalted usefulness. We just don't seem t
Things don't look as good as they did last night. Laurie's signal is pretty choppy, with some longer fades. Now that I've got Peter's frequency correct, I can only say that something is going on the
The "W1TAG Propagation Machine" is giving a favourable opinion at this point. I saw Dex's 177.777 kHz beacon an hour before sunset (about 1000 km). Laurie is currently sending a "G" which started at
Hi Dex and John et al Thanks to the W1TAG propagation alert machine I was able for the first time to receive Q5 copy of Laurie's signal on 72.401 kHz. Laurie's signal was last seen about 0630 UTC. Ar
Hi Jim es Peter I saw Jim well last night . Peter what freq are you transmitting on? Tonight, 135.9205kHz from around 2200 until 0030 Regards, Peter, G3LDO
Observations by W4DEX and myself indicate that conditions were excellent at 73 and 180 kHz during the early UTC hours of 6 Dec. We both were hearing HBG very clearly, and I copied Dex's 177.777 beac
I worked through the FS figures I measured last week on 73k - it comes out like this: G3AQC 130mW ERP G3LDO 85mW ERP M0BMU 100mW ERP Rugby 73.25kHz 7.5kW ERP Bearing in mind that for all the signals
I saw a few bits and pieces on Peter and Jim's frequencies, but nothing identifiable. Just a non-scientific observation that HBG was coming in quite clearly at 2130. And a thought -- since my present
Peter, Laurie, Jim... All copied fine, MOBMU -57.9dB G3AQC -54.2dB G3LDO -53.9dB Attachments are 2 images from last night Thank you very much for your reports Ko - very much appreciated. Regards, Pe
Just got back from dinner. Laurie's signal has been in and out -- not great copy, but it's there. No sign of Jim or Peter thus far, but the night is young. ...I used to be, too... Didn't we all! Jus
Since conditions might be improving, I will try running the 73kHz beacon again tonight, from around 2300utc onwards. Will be sending QRSS120 on 72.4018kHz again. Cheers, Jim Moritz 73 de M0BMU I will
coil, Freqs? I assume that a typical tesla coil is a rather short and fat structure. I am not sure that in this case the magnetic field can be ignored, compared to the electric field. And since a Te
