Paul Keep an eye open for late afternoon TA LF receptions. I recall CT1DRP (whatever happened to Brian?) reception on DFCW as early as 2030Z on many ocassions. Quite often his signal would appear aro
Alan Thanks for the update on Brian. Next time you talk with him please say hello for me. He had quite an impressive signal on LF ... especially remember those mid to late afternoon captures. Think y
WSPR-X V0.8 r3058 has always run fine here on several XP SP3 machines. Haven't tried it on Win7. No Win 10 machines here. I can supply the V0.8 r3058 version download to anyone that's interested ...
Domenico The WSPR-X upload problem can usually be fixed by clearing out the contents of ALL_WSPR.TXT file ... which grows quite large over time. Suppose one could automate that process with a batch f
Paul On your website the pix of the transformer looks to be a stack of 3) FT240 cores ... assume you're using 77 material? If so, this same setup handled a kW of rf at WD2XNS with no problem ... with
Paul Okay on no frost ... at the moment ;~) . Water in coax / connectors? Dummy load at far end would prove / disprove that. Running out of ideas ... Jay Thanks Jay, Yes, I shamelessly copied your tr
Stefan There have been times in the past that HARP has modulated the polar electrojet at 60 Hz. Have no idea what they're up to, if anything, these days. Just pointing out other possibilities. Jay W1
Paul Don't overlook testing at night as well. From the tests John W1TAG and I did years ago some software that worked great during the middle of the day fell flat on it's face with nightime static an
Yes ... until EbNaut came along, WOLF was the most impressive weak signal mode. WOLF vs WSPR-15 at: http://www.w1tag.com/WSPR15WOLF.htm . Jay W1VD -- Original Message -- From: John Andrews <w1tag@ch
Paul Any chance one (or more) of the 3 high stack of cores in the transformer might have cracked? Might be interesting to hook a 50 ohm dummy load to the secondary of transformer, adjust turns ratio
Paul An old Heath Cantenna makes a good load. They're often seen at flea markets for short money. In a pinch, an electric hot water heater element (of appropriate voltage / current rating for 50 ohms
Paul Would think any broken / bad contacts in the top hat would show up as a big change in resonance. Best *guess* is a problem with the ground connection connection out at the antenna. FET's shippin
Rob / Joe Any chance you guys could cozy up within a couple Hz of each other when running EbNaut? Jay W1VD -- Original Message -- From: Rob Renoud <[email protected]> Reply-To: <rsgb_lf_group@bl
Rob Within a couple Hz. Maybe Marcus could suggest clear frequencies on the EU end. Jay W1VD -- Original Message -- From: [email protected] Rob Renoud To: [email protected] rsgb_lf_gr
Late start tonight ... immediate copy of VO1NA and, of course, K3RWR Will see if VO1NA's decode can be improved. Thanks for the EbNaut sigs gentlemen! Jay W1VD
