Sadly I was informed that John G4CNN had passed away last Sunday. The message came direct from his son and daughter and was sent to several members of this group but not to the reflector. Tom, G3OLB
Hello Urban I will look for you at 0600 and again at 0900 UTC tomorrow 20/07/02. Like you, I don't have time to spend hours and hours CQing to myself on 136! 73, Tom G3OLB Instead of writing a lot of
Pleased to work G3XIZ, Chris in Biggleswade, this morning. An excellent 579 here in Devon, a new one for me and nice to hear some activity - 136 has gone very quiet these days. 73, Tom G3OLB.
Steve Buy one of the ceramic (as opposed to quartz) resonators in the 2.5 MHz region and use in a VXO circuit. About 100pF variable gives me band coverage. Divide by 18 for 136 output, any drift is a
Mike I reckon that the capacitance of each wire is now in series instead of in parallel, hence lower capacitance and higher resonant frequency. 73, Tom G3OLB Whilst the mast was down I modified the c
October seems to be the month for high winds in UK. Sometimes we get the tail end of US/Caribban hurricanes. Excellent signal this evening on 136 KHz CW from SM6BHZ. Antenna needs some rework after t
Jim & Fabian I stand corrected. Having consulted my meticulously kept log last night, of course Uli is DJ9IE not DL9IE! 73, Tom G3OLB actually the call DL1EIE is absolutely correct. He is located nea
Ref. new stations R6BWO and DL1EIE on 136: My theory is that the missing dot in Jeff F6BWO's call sign got mysteriously delayed and re-appeared in that of DL9IE! Both stations have been very active o
I wondered who owned the S9+20 signal Alan! 73, Tom G3OLB In message <001c01c2dec6$044de5a0$6507a8c0@Main>, Alan Melia <[email protected]> writes Hi all, I thought this little episode might p
Jim So you mean we will be able to tune the PA so we can see the shadow of the gate through the drain just like we did with the good old 813s? As for Dave's knife switches, I've been searching for ye
The 6L6s are glowing cherry-red and I've found the "sweet spot" on the crystal ready for tonight's tests. The knife switch will be thrown at 03.30 and emissions will continue until about 07.30 when
I notice there are some interesting looking papers relevant to LFers being given at the IEE HF Radio Conference at Bath in June by G3LHZ (Loops), M0BMU (Small LF Antennas) and G2AJV (Toroidal Antenna
That's interesting 'cos noise blankers don't usually work at LF due to the way they operate, taking pulse energy over a broad band to operate a blanking switch. At least, the one in my TS850 doesn't
Ian A pretty obvious point really, but are you sure the output power of your amplifier is not varying due to impedance changes as you alter the grounding? i.e. A mismatch is causing output power to d
Ian I can't offer any explanation but I have had similar a unexplained reduction in antenna current when the grounding system was apparently improved. I took about 50 feet of mains 3 core to a 2 ft s
Look out for G3JRL, John in Weymouth - new on 136 and a big signal this morning on normal CW (that's the mode where you can complete a QSO in less than 5 minutes!). 73, Tom G3OLB
