Mike and Gary, Here is a piece of the line I was seeing at grayline, and the single longer keydown at about 13:35 is clear The capture was taken at QRSS30 with Argo and 60 second ticks. The line is n
Friends, There is a second signal which is trying to peak through. This one looks lie a possible QRSS and is on ~137700.37. No LORAN on that freq either. The signal appeared at loosely 04:35 UTC. J
Mike and All, There is something simple that I have been missing concerning mystery signals in the band. The very core of my experiments is the fact that my station is next to a power system which ut
Hello, All, Steve and I were just working on normal CW QSO. I have a large yellow-orange cat that looks like the Disney Thomasina. Apparently he likes the sound of Steve's fist, because he promptly c
Marcus and other watchers, The message and ID method has changed on the VY1JA beacon. The callsign is transmitted at 9 WPM and the letters JA are transmitted at QRSS30. This is repeated in a continuo
Thanks, Alan, Whatever it was... it made a straight line with very marginal bits of data in and out and not quite like a fading LORAN and definitely not on LORAN frequency. Another step into the Twil
Mike and Gary, At my grayline, I copied some bits of a signal on ~137699.5. There is no LORAN line listed for that frequency. Is there something from Europe or was I seeing traces of one of your sign
Jim and All, Yes, it is good idea for me to track known leaking PLC signals. For now, I am concerned about how strong my signals are in their lines. Unfortunately, the fact that I am not causing inte
Jim, Thanks for the good explanation again. There are several items on the list from it. The coils I wound are about 1" long and 4 inches in diameter and are glued in place with epoxy. When I build m
Rik, Here is what I have found about the problem here. As long as I leave the ID function off, the program works perfectly. If the ID function is turned on, after period of time which seems random, t
Mike, and All, VY1JA is monitoring 137698.5 to 701.5, QRSS60 slow, 120 second ticks, until 1800 UTC Monday, or until propagation goes bad. I will notify the group here when VY1JA beaconing resumes. U
All, Because of the strange reception, it may be best for the VY1JA beacon to take a break while I center Argo on 137700 to watch for that signal again. I know that it is not the right band plan for
Signal #1 137699.25 disappeared at about 04:40 and signal #2 on 137700.37 disappeared at about 05:35 UTC. There are no signals except the Gulf of Alaska in the 137.7 window now. Both signals were so
Jim and All, Thanks for the good explanation. The spikes are displayed on the scope which is connected to the ScopeMatch and are on both the voltage and current traces. The scopematch pickup has a ha
Alex, Thanks for the spreadsheet. Steve was the person who edited my work when I was applying for my experimental license, and pointed out privately that my license was for 1 W ERP not IERP. The calc
Alan, and All, The top atttachment for the tower end of the horizontal wires at is at 100 feet, these 390 foot long wires fan out from the vertical portion at a ~55 degree angle to eachother and the
