Hi LF, In the quiet moments between CQ calls and listening out for CQ calls (and other more mundane matters like work, life, family etc) I squeezed together a few photos and words about my 500kHz set
Hello LF, Whilst we might not be paying the advertisers for the ads I think Johan's point was "I don't want to pay money to the RSGB to receive the ads". I've just flicked through this month's rather
Hello Andy, I think you're near Southampton? Best guess (you're a bit out of my area) is Fareham, 1KW (low power filler - HI!) Found this listing too http://mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/freq_find/Ind
LF, Hearing G3WCE ( fairly sure it's that) calling CQ on 502.5, RST439 in QRN Despite many replies I haven't been able to raise him! This is a new call to me, anyone have any info/contact details? QR
Conditions seem quite poor here tonight. Finbar fading between 599 and 549 DI2AM the only Eu QRSS beacon visible GW4HXO fading bewtween 439 and nil Nothing on seen on grabber yet of WE2XGR/6 although

Hello LF, Chris, In RX only mode tonight. Hearing G3KEV, G4WGT and GI3PDN. Seeing G0MRF too. QRN level low! Hearing G3XIZ calling CQ in CW and then RTTY 85KHz shift/45Bd on 502kHz RYRY CQ CQ CQ DE G3
Hello Dave, LF, Thanks for your comments and explaination of your setup and experiences. I only "butted" in after seeing your (tongue in cheek) comments about moving house to improve ground losses! I
How much difference would there be between 45 and 45.45Bd? I was intially set at 45.45Bd... Will try again at 45 -- John GM4SLV IP90gg Clousta, Shetland

Hi Roman & LF Not unless he was also transmitting on 506.05 at the same time repeating "WC WC WC WC WC WC WC WC " on both frequencies in perect sync! It looked more like a normal AM modulated NDB sig
Thanks for another report Lubos, I don't think conditions were very good last night, as you've had better reception from me in the past? 100mW ERP of course ;-) Best 73, -- John GM4SLV IP90gg Clousta
I'd guess that given similar conditions 85Hz would be perfect copy. The decode margin on 23Hz must be tiny! I'll try to get a few hours in the shack tomorrow (no promises though!) John
Hi Gary, Mike & LF, It's been good here for the last several hours. I could read it by ear at 15:10 which is before local sunset. Despite several attempts at around 16:00 Mike couldn't hear me, so no
Hello Graham, LF, Well...yes I suppose we can all radiate something! A VFO connected to a piece of wet string will radiate. I've just turned on an old AR88D in my office (under the desk - keeps the f
Congratulations again both Finbar & Jay, I also heard the WE2XGR/2 beacon on 506.5 fading up and down at the noise floor at around 2330-0000z last night. Very weak but readable in peaks of QSB. Well
Congrtatulations Lubos and Finbar, I heard you Lubos call Finbar after we signed and Mike G3GMS also finished on 80m crossband. You were a good signal here on 80m too Lubos. I wonder if you were copy
