Dear LF Group, Was interested to see Bill's report of the reception of LEK using slow CW. I played the .WAV file back using spectrogram - I have to admit I could not make out the CW by ear (it's rath
Dear LF Group, Trying to run high power into a small antenna puts a lot of strain on the loading coil and the antenna itself. For instance, my antenna has loss resistance of about 30ohms. My original
Dear LF group, Thanks to all those who sent reports of my 73kHz signals last night. I gather DF6NM was trying to call me for a cross-band QSO; unfortunately I was not actually set up for X-band opera
Dear LF group,<br><br> Had a phone call from Bill, G0AKY, last Friday night. Amongst other<br>things, he asked me if I could send this message to subscribers to <br>the RSGB LF reflector - Bill is aw
Dear Tom, LF group, I think Andy must be right about the flutter - myself and G3AQC are often within 1 or 2Hz of each other, and the flutter is produced by the two signals beating together. I heard s
Dear LF group, I transmitted my usual beacon signal (5 x 110s dashes and spaces, 400s gap containing 6wpm station ID), on 135.923kHz between 2000 and 0130 last night. It was raining a lot, and one of
Dear LF Group, I transmitted my usual beacon signal (5 x 110sec dashes and spaces, followed by a 400sec space containing 6wpm station ID) from about 2000 until 0240 last night, on 135.923kHz. Later,
Dear LF Group, I found an easy way to drive in earth rods made from copper water pipe is like this: I found a steel rod of a slightly bigger diameter than the pipe, put a point on the end, and hammer
Dear LF Group, Was very pleased to work G3KMP(449) and G0AKY(559) on 71.75kHz this morning. Both Bill and Colin have pretty good signals for this band, so I'm sure many of the 73kHz "regulars" would
Dear LF Group, In case anyone was wondering, I did not transmit any beacon signals last night. While I was waiting for the snow to stop so I could get my antenna up, I dozed off, and did not wake up
<?color><?param0100,0100,0100>Dear LF Group,<br><br>Transmitted the usual beacon signal on 135.923kHz last night from about 1845 to 0240. The weather was still and clear, so I did not have to keep re
Dear LF Group, Once again, thanks to those who sent signal reports on last night's beacon signals, and thanks also to those who continue to listen/watch for our signals. I transmitted the same signal
<?color><?param0100,0100,0100>Dear Bill, LF group,<br><br>I think we all see the drop in noise level before dawn over here. Wonder where the "Eastern" QRN originates. <br><br>><?/color>I saw a huge i
Dear LF group, I transmitted beacon sigs last night from 2145 until 0630. The signal was roughly 110sec dashes and spaces, with a 400sec space (containing a 60s CW ID) every 5th dash. Thanks for the
Dear LF Group, So that G3AQC does not feel lonely, I will also run a beacon signal tonight on 135.924kHz. 1Hz seperation is quite small; but anything that stands much chance of seeing either signal w
Dear LF Group, I monitored 137.7894kHz again last night; nothing was visible until 0330, and the signal level then was quite low. The SNR was quite good in the period before dawn. Good signals were o
Dear LF Group, Just a remark. If you want to dig deep into the noise, you must use resolutions of 5 or 10 milli Hertz. At these resolutions the span covered by a spectrogram is at maximum a couple of
Dear LF Group, I recorded signals from VA3LK again last night; no signal was visible until 0140, and levels were 5 - 10dB down on previous nights. By dawn, things were back to normal, and the best re
Dear LF Group, I monitored VA3LK's frequency again using the same set-up as before, and got rather similar results as in the previous two nights. The QRN level seemed rather high, adding about 5-10dB
Dear LF Group, I monitored VA3LK's signal again last night; conditions were slightly better than last night, and signals were visible several times between 2230 and 0800. The attached file cq.jpg is
