Hello everybody ! After a lot of fiddling with taps on the loading coil for the tx output and the antenna and also the best setting of the variometer I this afternoon (oct 3) called a number of CQ:s
Hello all ! I will be on 136 tomorrow (saturday) afternoon from the summer QTH (if the antenna is still in the air !) and will start calling CQ at 1200Z and continue every full and half hour during t
Hi to All ! I will most likely be QRV as SM5EUF/5 during saturday afternoon / evening from the summer-house at JO78SQ. If so I will bring the rig. Hopefully the antenna is still in the air ! I will l
Hello to all ! During the Christmas vacation I found some wire that might be suitable for a loading coil. The wire has a cross section of 4.3 square mm. I made a coil with a diameter of 38cm and a le
Hello all ! Yesterday evening (friday) at 2015Z I heard someone testing slightly above 136khz ending with the call MM0ALM. The callsign was only given once so I am not 100% sure of it. Readability wa
HI All ! Instead of writing a lot of rubbish on this reflector, how about some activity on the band ? I was on calling a lot of CQ:s on last sunday , monday and tuesday evenings between ~19 and 21Z a
I will be QRV this afternoon from JO78SQ from about 1230Z and a couple of hours on136.5 CW and probably also on 137.675 QRSS3. Hope for the first QRSS-QSO ! 73 de SM5EUF/5 - Urban
Hello all ! I have made some experimenting with the loop preamplifier described on page 29-30 in the Low Frequency Experimenters Handbook and below I share my results. In the evenings I have had seve
Hello all , Here follows my experience with a big loop: I have a small loop with 40turns, the turns are spaced 5mm and the side of the loop is 70x70cm. The wire has a diameter of 1mm. The inductance
Hello ! Many thanks to those who listened to my very first test with Jason and who sent a report. I am very glad to hear that it was readable. I am using the ZL1BPU exciter and was running between 35
Mal, So there is low activity on 136 afterall !!!!!!!!! Then how do you think it is "up" here in SM ? I have about 3 stations (that I know of) within a radius of 250km. To Denmark it is 500km which e
Hello LF-ers ! Isn't it time we settle a time for activity instead of that a lot of us mostly in vain call endless CQ:s after having listened for a while to a dead band ? My suggestions are 0800-1000
Hello again ! Yes, of course you have to be careful not to apply any force on the glass part of the lamp. I have taken between 5 and 10 lamps apart and used the method of holding the socket with a gl
Hello everybody ! When experimenting on the LF-band chokes with inductances of some mH are often needed. They are not so easy to get in these days. Those in the junk-box from the tube era are often q
Hello ! Is anyone interested in trying a QSO on JASON ? If so, mail me at : [email protected] so we could arrange a sked some weekend. 73 SM5EUF Urban JO78SQ
