LF, The wind got up and the aerial wire snagged a tree, capturing my balloons at 10.50Z. I am now back on the end fed 40m still on 8.976 661 kHz Comparisons in signal strengths of the two systems wou
Thanks again for all reports, even negative ones. I've been received so far today by G3ZJO, G3WCD, G3XDV and Paul Nicholson. Paul (in Todmorden) is currently receiving me at a flux density of 0.12 fT
LF, I managed to launch a balloon held aerial at 08.38Z There is 60m of wire at about 45 degrees. The aerial current is about 0.15A (I must make that variometer) 73 Chris G3XIZ
LF, I am transmitting at present on 8.976 660 7 kHz (10.000 MHz / 1114) using a Droitwich off air standard locked frequency. There is slightly more aerial current: 0.22A as I am trying my new loading
Hi Chris That's great, did you reduce power, you are still a good signal here, keep your eye on my grabs, I am going off watch for a while. QRP rules OK. 73 Eddie G3ZJO On 27/03/2011 16:29, Chris Os
LF, I shall be transmitting on VLF again over the weekend. The main purpose will be to test (and adjust) my new loading coil therefor the transmitted frequency may vary. I shall keep the reflector in
Uwe, I received a good signal from you over night here at IO92UB. My 'SpecLab' setup is a carbon copy of Eddie's G3ZJO and I use a 50 turn loop of 500 x 1200 mm I'll leave my system running and send
LF, I have been transmitting since 05.02Z and have managed to get my kite aerial flying since 06.15 The supporting pole is bending at an alarming angle so I may lose the kite soon ! So look for me no
Roger, LF, Very interesting. I did do some impromtu testing last night on my usual frequency of 8.976 661 6 kHz I have installed a cover (tarpaulin) over my loading coil to keep out the rain and was
LF, My VLF TX is on and will be left running over night. Freq: 8.976 661 6 kHz Mode: Constant carrier Power: 150 watts RF Aer: 40m Marconi @ 10m I tried launching balloons but the wind was too strong
Hello Stefan / Rik, Thanks for the response. I adjust the PA current by varying the drive level to the FET's so the PA supply voltage stays constant. I should have made that clear. 73 Chris G3XIZ --
LF, I went QRT on VLF at about 17.00Z today. Many thanks for all reports over the weekend and I shall give a summary later in the week. Balloon (and kite) launching from my home QTH is difficult and
