I would suggest 136.318 kHz, as it is fairly Loran-free at the NA end. I'm also for a frequency change. No copy here last night either, but there seemed to be some other low-level signals very close
The Rugby Loran lines are at frequencies of n x 1 / (2 x 63710us), or n x 7.4283167434259396820680433813698Hz (give or take), where n is an integer, and 63710us is the GRI of the Lessay chain. For th

AFRICAM has GPS-sync capability - it has proven most useful with very slow BPSK where it would otherwise take a long time to find the signal. Did some tests last season with it - the error correction
Having noticed AFRICAM is vulnerable to sound card sampling rate errors, I added the ability to specify the exact (nearest integer) sampling rate. AFRICAM defines its bit times by counting samples, s

Good signals here last night from DRP, G3AQC and M0BMU. Looks like Laurie's DFCW works better than QRSS, and the speed is about right. Got the whole ident nicely. Bill VE2IQ
Hi Uwe: Antenna here was a rectangular loop in the woods about 150 feet from the shack. The loop is about 20 feet high by 30 feet long, favoring East/West. Receiver was a TS850S with GPS-disciplined
Hi Joze: I replaced the Kenwood's internal 20 Mhz oscillator with an external ovenized standard which uses timing information from the Global Positioning System (GPS) satellite network. That improves
Thanks for the tips. I got a nice-looking weather map last night using the demo version of JVComm32... http://www.jvcomm.de/index_e.html Looks like they're sending fax most of the time. Bill VE2IQ CF

It looks to me like the 20 Mhz reference was drifting around while he was taking the measurements (possibly his audio measuring system was drifting also, but that is less important). When I do these
[..] I am now convinced my problem is caused by frequency error in my TS- 850. Looking at several standards, the errors are as follows (relative to an arbitrary zero): 60.0kHz: -1.0Hz 75.0kHz: -0.8Hz
I too looked for this last night and can confirm Mike isn't making it into central Ontario. There was a weak trace visible but I was unable to see any part of his callsign. QTH here is over 1000 Km i
Same here in Ontario Canada. Excellent copy of Joe's V's though. Rig tuned to produce 800 Hz output for a carrier on 137.777 Khz. http://www.magma.ca/~ve2iq/zl00002.jpg Bill VE2IQ
