Hi Mal Your observations are consistent with the data I've collected over the past few years. Fact is EU is the hardest path for VE7 on any band. It's the competition that makes it interesting and th

Hi All A Kp=7 geomagnetic storm is raging now and the Dst has dropped like a rock for the first time in months. I won't expect good DX condx for awhile on LF. Too bad as the EU and Asia signals on 15
Thanks Alan, ever the optimist you are :-) Lets hope good condx return or the bad condx are educational ! There's an interesting story on spaceweather.com about a CME impacting Mercury and the experi
Dex and Jay rightly make a point of QRN back east of here. This has not been troubling in VE7 for a few nights but may make things rough for Bill in VE3. In fact, on VLF there are only very weak sfer
Stefan The Dst continues to recover and the sun is slipping south faster each day... DCF39 was over 20db above the noise here last evening, loudest of the season thus far... On 153KHz the broadcaster
Mal when are you planning to test the path from G3 to VE7? Surely you're not going to allow someone else to do it first :-) We await the viability of the path to be demonstrated at amateur power leve
Hi Stefan In the past three years since I began prolonged 'low noise' listening November has traditionally been the beginning of good opportunities for EU/VE7 DX. However, DCF39 has surprised me this
Hi Jim I had a similar experience on my 136 RX system after installing the VLF antenna and preamp... The solution for me was installing an audio unbalanced to balanced isolation transformer on the fe
Thanks Mal Hope you have success with this. If reliability is key, consider using a three or four port version. I use a 4 port version in my MOALFA amp. With more smaller amps you don't need to push

Hi Alan I just tested the system with a remote computer and its seems to work fine here. I changed the grabber system substantially a few days ago. You may have noted some minor changes to image size
Hi All EU is starting to really make its presence known in VE7 this season. DCF39 and a BC station on 153 became audible this evening. All the more amazing as my antenna nulls EU. I guess its time to
Hi Stefan I've created a wide-band audio link before using a laser. In fact, I used it to bounce the audio I wanted to send off of a passive reflector. Wideband and excellent fidelity is possible, ju
Hi All Does anyone one know which channel the plot window in SL is connected to when you are using a two channels? I can't seem to locate any info on this in the manual on how to set this to one or t
Hi Stefan http://www.k3pgp.org/laser.htm I use his detector and modulator circuits for my system. 73 Scott Just thought about trying a LF RX in the forest and feed the signal via a laser link to the
