I have just changed the computer I use for running ON7YD's QRS program to key my transmitter. Both old and new computers run WIN98. The old one worked fine with QRS, but the new one behaves strangely
I have now solved the parallel port problem reported earlier. I tried a suggestion from Alan, G3NYK, (thanks Alan) but that didn't fix it. In the end I deleted all of the programs that were on the co
Yet again, I am testing my station in beacon mode. The last few times I have tried this, I have had spaks and have had to rebuild parts of the station. The latest rebuild is the mast-top inductor (4m
I have at last got a system reliable enough (fingers crossed) to run an overnight DX beacon. I will run QRSS60, starting at each hour from 1800UTC until 0900, sending 'XDV'. Frequency is 136.3188kHz.
I shall be beaconing again overnight. Last night's conditions looked better, according to W3EEE's graph. 136.3185k, QRSS60. DJ8WX is also active on 136.319kHz. Mike, G3XDV ==
Whilst there =may= be a trace of my 138.3185kHz sigs at the start of your picture, Uwe's 'WX' can clearly be seen just above 136.319. Congratulations to you and him, and also to Dimitry, whose DFCW i
The weather has deteriorated so I won't leave the beacon on all night. Transmissions started at 1700, and will continue to the one starting at 0000. The entire 'XDV' takes about 35 minutes. 136.3185k
I will beacon again tonight. Last night's transatlantic conditions looked very good (see W3EEE's graph attached). 136.3185kHz, QRSS60. Mike, G3XDV == The following section of this message contains a
Since the weather is calm and dry I will beacon again this evening/tonight from 1800 to 0900, start synched with each hour. Frequency 136.3185kHz. Mode QRSS60. Thanks for the DX reports (even the neg
Despite the interest in 500kHz, there is still activity on 136kHz. In the last few weeks, I have worked F6BWO, F6BIR, PA3CPM, DL4EAU, and DJ6GT. Also, a partial with RA3YO. There has been activity fr
Wolf, I am making QRSS calls around 137.670kHz (30kHz low of the 'recommended centre of activity') to avoid the DCF39 QRM. Is there a better part of the band at your end? Should we be discussing a qu
