Thanks for trying Jeurgen. I hope you have some success later this week. 73 de Mike From: dj2fs Sent: 28/11/2016 07:28 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: LF: QRSS60 tests on 136.173kHz Hi
John and Jay, Many thanks for watching. I should be running overnight tests until at least Sunday, so there may be a chance of better conditions. 73 de Mike, G3XDV ==
Thanks, John. It is fascinating how easy it is to make a one-hop sky-wave transmission on the 136kHz band (say up to 2500km), even in poor conditions, but how difficult it is to make the next one. I
I look forward to better conditions, Laurence. Two nights ago your grabber showed very little from DCF39, much worse than last week! Last night the screen was blank - was a receiver connected? It wil
Thanks very much, John. At last conditions are being kind to us. The ridiculously calm weather (for this time of year) will continue for a few more days, but I will probably stop the nightly tests ne
John, Thanks. I will extend my tests to another night. Start 1700 and finishing just after 1000UTC tomorrow morning. As before, the callsign start is synchronised with each odd numbered hour and last
I will be transmitting Op32 on 137.538kHz overnight, so that might add to the fun. My transmission is reasonably coherent so should show up on a long duration waterfall. Mike, G3XDV ==
I am confused by this announcement. From the date stamp, Stefan seems to be announcing that he will transmit on Saturday, but Markus reports him on Friday. Which day will Stefan transmit his carrier?
To give an idea of what is happening nowadays on the 136kHz band, here is a summary of activity from my station in the single month of January 2017. Stations received on WSPR2: 2E0ILY, DC0DX, G4GIR,
I have not been able to receive or transmit on LF for a few weeks and may be off the air for several days more. To start with, there was a big wind storm which took out several of my fences. I had ta
As some have noted, I managed to put my 136kHz antenna back up a few days ago. It has taken a while to get all of the top wires (capacity hat) where they should be, but today my ERP is back to close
The Eltek 60V power supply that I use to supply my Decca PA modules has stopped working, so I am once again off the air on 136kHz. I have checked that there are no obvious faults but I am not good wi
Congratulations, Chris. You have joined the exclusive band of LF arsonists! Fortunately, no real harm done this time. Mike == -- End of forwarded message -- Attachment: WPM$3KBX.PM$ Description: Mail
Nice idea, Chris, but any insulation would have to withstand the thousands of volts on your antenna in all conditions (wet and dry). Might work for the lower volages on higher bands but I doubt it wo
