-or rather tomorrow morning. Will TX again 0430 - 0730 as per this a.m. but on 137.7735 nominal. Tnx for the shot Jose, I think I have found out why the signal skidded so much and have taken steps to
Automated system seems to work ok. 1.2A into the antenna and no hiccups.Transmitted 'AYZ' repeated five times at QRSS60 between 0430 and 0750 this morning with idents fore and aft at 8w.p.m.. No smok
Now that I have got things more or less 'automated' I shall also be transmitting QRSS60 from about 0430 Monday 24th about 1 Hz below Laurie on 137.773 plus or minus. Ian MI0AYZ
Came out of the krankenhaus on Thursday with another patch on the old bodywork and instructions to get back to normal life asap, so definitely count me in for skeds on the 73KHz side of all the /P op
No early Friday morning RSS60 transmissionsfrom MI0AYZ I'm afraid. Having lots of computatroubles as a result of having the loading coil in the shack, with RF getting into places it should not be, an
Hi Andy, Have hunted through the Oxford Dictionary of quotations, Brewer, & several lesser known works over the years and not managed to find that wonderful aphorism, but somewhere in the back of my
Have only caught the tail end of one transmission so am guessing about any others. Now transmitting AYZ at 60s dots on 137774.5 (I hope). Sequence of four, should take until 0715 approx. Hope springs
OK you Yanks, you asked for it! I shall burn your eyes out some of these mornings :-) Joking aside, my setup is very similar to that of XDV but I am a bit closer and since I have (a) insomnia and (b)
Thanks for the field strength report Markus. The antenna "put a leg out of bed" about that time and I had to lower it to make repairs, so that was probably my test call. Lots of activity noted betwee
Hi Rich, tried to mail this to your nextra address but it was returned. Will be monitoring your activities 8/9 March and suggest sked at 2300 during the QRSS period. If not suitable then please sugge
I was on this morning, listening and watching,but nothing heard on CW. MIke was good M shading into poor O on his 1030z QRSS3 transmission, medium O on the QRSS10 1130z transmission. The main problem
In spite of prior engagements with the likes of MOT testers, doctors and "financial advisers" on Tuesday morning (rotten bad planning) I hope to be able to get on air on 73 between 0930 and 1130z, an
Hi Jim, in your posting of 16 April on 'The Mystery....' you mentioned that the BK input circuitry could be modified to provide a bit more gain at 136. What needs changed to do this? 73, Ian
I have a pressing desire to establish my E.R.P. and to that end am setting about building Dicks Field Strength Meter. As my tame finder/supplier of bits is off cruising the Caribbean and increasing h
At around 2230z last Saturday I copied " ....AYZ M LA K" in QRSS3 on Eds frequency after he had sent "PSE 10" and I had called him in that mode. I acknowledged his report and sent him a report of 'OO
Hi Mal, Things are not complicated in the way you imply.. The earthing system is the kind of thing that us suburban non-agriculturists have to devise and put up with, and as I said in previous postin
Hi Jim, thanks for the thoughts on the the puzzle. The coil is between antenna and earth and the input simply tapped to where I get the best balance of max antenna current with optimum amplifier outp
Hi Dave, well, I'll be around this weekend on 73 but since New Galloway and Lisburn are so close apart and we've already done it on CW (please note, Mal!), unless you are mad keen for a twicer I woul
my thanks to all for the responses both direct and via the reflector to my plaintive bleating. Today being a glorious day hereabouts I said "thehellwithit, hang the expense", and took m'lady out for
Some of you will have noticed that I have been venting my frustrations about the title subject on the reflector recently and that I mentioned an interesting anomaly in the earthing arrangement, so ov
