Dear All, I am concerned at the lack of activity on 500kHz. I am not a great "chin wagger" but it would be nice hear a signal now and again.! Could we have an activity period ? say 18:00 to 18:30 cal
Hi Laurie. I recall that when I first powered up my Decca, it had low output on one module. That turned out to be a blown diode in the power recovery unit. - It's been so long I've forgotten the f
Hi All, I can probably still use a BC221 having used them at Hanslope Park in the 40's to set uo HRO's so that German stations that we were monitoring could be found. I still have one in the loft but
Does anybody manufacture Xtals to specific frequencies these days? I have trawled Google to no avail, unless I want to go to China!!! Nothing in Radcom. What's happened to companies like QCC ? Any id
Hi Peter, That would be great, I actually have a few of the FETs. My problem is that I am rather unwell, I have been having Chemo! but it should be possible to get someone to drive me over. Please re
Hi Richard, I must commend your efforts to go portable. However there seems to me to be one major problem. That is GROUND, all antennas except loops (more later) need to work against "Ground" which i
The measuring technique was to initially set the normal series loading coils to resonance at 136kHz and 502khz with the normal ground system, and then measure the antenna resistance between the "col
Thanks for all the reports , I hope my transmissions have seved a useful purpose. Tonight for a change I will tranmit DFCW, my full callsign using 40 sec. elements centered on 319.5 with 0.25Hz shift
Hi Laurence, Conditions still looking good so I will transmit again tonight. QRSS 60, freq. 136.319 KHz start 18:00 finish 22:00 utc. Jean-Piere, many thanks for the report. 73 Laurie.
Well at last, all is OK. Good copy of all three stations, starting about 00:30 with XNS best copy 01:00 to 02:00 but traces of XES until 06:30 Attachment: TA 21 Oct.jpg Description: JPEG image
Jean Pierre reports good copy last night, which is strange since I saw nothing ! Has my Ant. fallen down or is this a case of selective signal distribution, we have seen this before but never as pron
