Hello Pete, I found out that 90% of the noise on 500kHz came from inside my own house. A lot of electronics is running of switched PSU's and you need just one of these oscillating near 500 kHz to get
If WX permits (no rain) I'll try to be QRV tonight (19-21 UT) 73, Rik ON7YD - OR7T At 16:37 6/11/2008, you wrote: Hi Rik and LF Thanks for pushing me into doing some thing about my 500kc/s noise. You
There is a constant whining sound when tuning over the band. My guess is that it's a local plasma TV, CFL, switch mode PSU or something similar. I have tried switching everything else off in my own h

At 21:30 UTC G3KEV's "lazy man's CW" signal was also visible on the RN3AGC grabber ( http://rn3agc.msk.ru/en/grabber5.shtml ). The only other signal visible was DI2AM (running 9 W ERP and at "only" 1
Hello Dennis, it was GI4DPE beaconing last night on 501.5 kHz. Finbar was peaking 589 here. 73, Rik ON7YD - OR7T At 13:29 18/11/2008, you wrote: Hi Everyone Just finished a top band natter last night
which is calibrated in millimhos, which I guess is the same as millisiemens. A "mho" is indeed the same as a Siemens, so I guess a "snemeis" is identical to a Ohm ;-) 73, Rik ON7YD - OR7T Disclaimer:
Hello Paul-Henrik, an interesting evening on 500. Heard 3 new stations and worked 2 of them. Just GW3UEP slipped away ... Further G3KEV, GI4DPE and GM4SLV heard. Propagation is not exceptional here,
Pete, fine it was you calling CQ ON. It should be no problem to make a QSO at normal QRN levels (for this time of the year). Last night QRN was as bad as in mid-summer. 73, Rik ON7YD - OR7T At 01:17
Hartmut & group, Is there any source to find out what USA stations are qrv when and where ? It would be interesting to have some stations in the US 1/2 call areas. At this time of the year their suns
Pete, I guess I heard bits and pieces of your signal. A bit later I heard someone calling CQ ON but couldn't get a call. But QRN is terrible and propagation seems poor, G3KEV and the DI beaccons were
I can hear Pete 539 now calling CQ ON. We had a qso earlier tonight that ended in QRN and QSB, but reports were exchanged so it is a valid QSO, unless I missed something. 73, Rik ON7YD - OR7T Hello L
Hello group, it seems to be generally accepted that a small vertical antenna has a gain of 3 (4.77dBi / 2.62dBd), due to the radiation pattern in the vertical plane. But in very few cases this gain s
Gay, indeed 501-504 kHz. 73, Rik ON7YD - OR7T LF, I believe Rik means "501 to 504 KHz" Unless his licence is so much better than ours Hi Hi. Gary - G4WGT --Original Message-- From: owner-rsgb_lf_grou
Gary, Chis, I am just follwing your RTTY QSO on 502 kHz. Both nice copy, a pitty I am not allowed to do RTTY. 73, Rik ON7YD - OR7T Disclaimer: http://www.kuleuven.be/cwis/email_disclaimer.htm
I thought I heard G3KIZ calling CQ on 502.6 kHz this morning at 09:55. It could have been you as G3KIZ is not listed in the call book. But I did listen more carefully and it certainly sounded like G3
Jim, my "big" TX antenna is temporaily down, but I had a good copy on my small RX loop. The DI/OK0 beacons are very strong here too, but as they are over 1kHz away from your signal not causing any pr
I do not see a problem ... Almost all "beacon", WSPR, QRSS transmissions have been near the band edges, leaving the centre of the band for CW QSO's. So far I have noticed only one station that is reg
