Hello Joe, Despite weird noise bands eminating from MW, I found good signals from VO1NA last night's QRS10 transmission. See attachment. 73, Roelof, pa0rdt The following section of this message conta
Hello Joe, Your normal CW signal was visible all night and peaked around 02:00 UTC on January 17, 2016. At that time aural copy was no problem at all. See (or rather listen) the attached MP3 file. Be
Hello Luis, Congratulations with getting a hit from over the pond. Besides your excellent set up, there are other factors to consider. This winter season, T/A propagation has been unusual. At times t
Hello Louis, Your observations are correct. What happened is that for the first time since last summer the path to the lower lattitudes opened up and I could hear quite a few inland Canadian NDB's. A
Hello Joe, Excellent copy with ARGO QRS3. See attachment. This was around 05.30 UTC. Your signal was visible all night, but peaked around 05.30 UTC and faded out rather quick after 06.00 UTC. Best re
Hello Richard, I think it is an excellent idea. Unlike WSPR, anyone with a receiver can hear it without the need for a PC and software. Plain CW is still the easiest way for beacon work. It is not ou
Hello Joe, Propagation was down and band noise was up, compaired to the previous night! 73, Roelof, pa0rdt The following section of this message contains a file attachment prepared for transmission u
Hello Joe, No facility here for Ebnaut decoding. However, good propagation over the course of the night. Easy aural copy at times when the signal peaked 12 dB over the band noise in a 10 Hz wide filt
Hello Markus, You were correct. Joe was transmitting on 477.700 kHz and as far as I can see he was using QRSS-3. The attachment shows the signal over the course of the night. Propagation was not part
Hello Joe, I have now looked a little better and due to Linrad's incredible weak signal recovery this is what I hear: VVV DE VO1NA VO1NA AR followd by a dash. Time 02:51 UTC. 73, Roelof, pa0rdt Recei
Hello Joe, Good propagation over the course of the night. An audio clip of your normal CW transmission has been attached. This was made at 02:04 UTC. The keying sidebands could be easily spotted and
Hello Laurence, For your interest. I do not know how you couple the E-probe to your receiver. For years, I have been using a rf - isolating transformer to separate antenna and receiver ground. This i
Hello Luis, The antenna is fed over the coax. DC is injected via the primary winding of the isolating transformer. The ground connection of this winding is isolated for DC but for RF the path to grou
Hello Joe, It appeared that propagation was rather poor last night. See attachment. 73, Roelof, pa0rdt The following section of this message contains a file attachment prepared for transmission using
Hello Joe, We are stuck in the aftermath of another geomagnetic storm and T/A propagation is rather poor. Nonetheless, your signal made it. See attachment. There is also another signal at 22:45 UTC t
Hello Paul, Thank you for confirming the identity of this signal. Did you also transmit on February 17/18 from about 22:30 - 00:30 UTC? 73, Roelof Bakker
Hello Joe, Propagation was worse at the start but picked up after 04.30 UTC for a short time. At its strongest, the carrier was 8 dB above the band noise in a 10 Hz bandwidth and easy to copy by ear.
Hello Joe, Last night propagation was far from smashing. Deep and prolonged fade-outs can be seen on the attached Linrad screen dump. Best regards, Roelof == From: Roelof Bakker, PAoRDT Location: Mid
Hello all, Much better propagation from Joe's location today. See attachment. Best regards, Roelof == From: Roelof Bakker, PAoRDT Location: Middelburg, Zealand SW Netherlands, 51 30 02 N, 03 36 02 E
