Were here but we appear to have lost a friendly ionosphere to date. To those that wait..... Laurence in K equals greater or equal to 7 or more land....
As Alan NYK would attest it takes a short period of time on onset and large (very large) amount of time to "cool or shake out" pushy pesky particles here in Alaska, but I think In now in day 7 or mor
Chris I run up to 1Kw on 136kHz and up to 400W on 475kHz and "alive" Eprobes (L400 and PA0RDT variants) about 100-150ft away up at 30ft plus and not blown them up. They don't like it much of course a
Roelof - its getting real dark up there now, and perhaps as its so far North of the typical stormy Auroral Oval - I dunno I was stationed at CFS Alert for 6 months (winter/spring) back in 82 it was v
Laurence, Chris & All: I did a test with my eprobe which is about 30 feet away from my HF elevated ground plane that has 65 ft radials a few years back. With 100W output on 40 meters. I was getting

Roelof/Joe Thats very good - and I was really surprised to be able to hear DCF39 138.8305 audibly for a short while pre dawn Eu last night over the pole = then another puff hit with Viz Au and it wen
Yes - Aurora actually arced back into morning twilight before it was nixed by daylight Looking forward to quieter times in the coming year or two Alan Laurence Seattle enroute Blightly
MF, Again there were some TA detections last night of my signal as well as to RX3DHR, a > 2000 km land path. Best reports from last night: Timestamp Call MHz SNR Drift Grid Pwr Reporter RGrid km az
Ill give this a go but will run parallel 136 and 475kHz WSPR15 tonight - 800W on 136 and 200W on 475 all being well - they are forecasting a little geomag so will shall see. Light dim in the shack a
Morning Markus - well the transmitters held up well and no issues. The two transmitters and tx antennae are independent of each other. 475 is a 70ft vertical large top loaded Marconi with 250ft-ish t
Ill be repeating the same WSPR15 transmissions again tonight (Eu night of 24/25th)- Keeps the shack warm Laurence From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Date: Fri, 23 O

I think Blacksheep think I have a cold :-) lets try this again... Ill be doing another dual 136/475kHz WSPR run tonight from my dusk - this time the first period starts at the top of each hour and re
Thanks Alan - th iono really hadnt cooled off up here from the continuous heating over the past month or so but it was getting better so I thought Id better inject a little more heat http://kl7l.com/
Hi Laurence my book gives Stainless Steel as 8 times resistivity of Brass and 40 times that of pure copper so maybe you were pushing your luck a bit, though I would have thought the connections at th
I seem to remember taking out the feedthrus and rods down in Okie - but I think they were copper/brass and still got warm. Odd stuff this RF... I measured the DC resistance of the 5/16th SS and it wa
