Alberto, Once again you have made some really useful improvements to the excellent Argo (new Build 119). In particular, the frequency calibration facility is superb. I tried it on the 90s setting and
Dexter, Laurie.. Congratulations on making it across ( more than once ) I hope it will be rewarded properly this time.. I inquired once for the litlle i did (1st swl: PA - VA) as just an swl but neve
A few weeks ago there was a discussion about whether to earth masts, or leave them 'floating'. In the continuous search for more dBs I tried earthing my mast on Saturday. I have a 14m (45ft) mast att
Congratulations to Dex, Jim and Laurie for the first G-W on 136kHz. I have just looked at Dex's spectrograms and these are so clear that it looks like 10s dots would work fine. Using DFCW and 10s dot

Although I have not seen a report from PA0SE, Dick must have been very pleased with the result of his plea for more activity at the weekend. I heard 19 different stations in 7 countries, worked four
......... I wondered if anyone would be interested in piles of old Radcom and Practical Wireless from 1972 and thereabouts. Goodness knows why I kept them but they've got to go! Dave G3YXM, Birmingha
Jim posed some possible flaws in alternative ways of generating BPSK in terms of bandwidth. I think we must work out what is an acceptable bandwidth for LF transcontinental working (or indeed any oth
Thanks, Jim, for the useful description of your transmit system for WOLF. Being a very lazy constructor, I am trying to find a simpler solution. Am I right in saying that my Decca Tx does not cause y
Ok, so having cracked the receive side, how do I transmit WOLF? As I understand it there are three methods: 1 - Audio from the soundcard is fed into a 136kHz SSB transmitter, including of course an H
If you're still having trouble with Jim's WOLF signal, please email me a one minute .wav file, and I try to diagnose the problem. You can convert it to 8-bit samples to save some space, if you like.
During the QSO Christer remarked that he might have been causing tvi, and as such couldn't stay to work Uli DJ9IE who called him afterwards. ...................... - is this the first reported case
When I run WOLF under Win 98 for a split second I get a small black window (similar to running DOS) but it disappeared so fast I wasn't able to read it. By repeated running I found that I hadn't inc
I tried out WOLF for the first time last night with total success. Jim was sending GY(^%? JGGF, followed by H(*^RCKO KKl, followed by . . . . OK, so it wasn't quite as successful as I would have like
My belief is that we will be able to get through even during most of the summer. i would like to continue testing throughout summer. I do not think we need to have continuous beaconing. Perhaps 20 mi
Being a great believer in the saying "There's no point in losing sleep over insomnia", I was up at 0040 and noticed that CFH was a massive S9+10dB. As a guide to how good that was, there are only thr
