Apparently all that's necessary to keep the reflector from cutting off messages is to make sure periods are only used at the end of a sentence, or otherwise make sure there are no spaces ahead of the
The news is still hard to accept. On this side of the Atlantic, most of our contact with Peter was by e-mail, so I don't know if any of us realized he was ill. None the less, his pioneering efforts
<< To speed download it might be useful to ZIP the files into a single ZIP file. >> A good thought. We will be doing that at the lwca.org site, where the information is also mirrored. In addition, we
<< Dear John, I visited the site and it looks really great! Text in white on black, wow.... Thanks again for a splendid job! 73, Dick, PA0SE >> You are most welcome, Dick. Thank you for making this e
<< Maybe it is better to avoid using e.r.p. at all. What you could use is e.i.r.p. . . . . >> Yes, I believe this is far better. EIRP is already the equivalent of the "eurowatt." It is the measure us
If it may be any help in knowing what to expect from the eclipse, I can summarize some of the effects of the 1995 total solar eclipse over North America. That one entered the US from Mexico over west
<< Someone's system is resending rsgb_lf_group messages back to the list, causing a mail loop - I'm on the case. Sorry for any inconvenience. >> Thanks, Peter. Best of luck. It's summer re-run season
<< When all 6 masts are parallelled at the top via the top-capacitance wires . . . >> ...how can it be said that "the ground system under each mast provides a ground connection for that mast only," I
<< The way I perceive the situation, some people are becoming upset because a new approach (unfortunately labeled "revolutionary") does not match the theories we have all learned. >> I have a somewha
<< I am a little confused about the tests you describe Rik. If you eliminate the time gaps between a string of dots then you just get a long dash so I assume you are shifting frequency after each "el
Oops. Just after I posted my previous note on this subject, a new batch of mail arrived from the reflector with Rik's additional notes. Will be requesting the JPEG as Rik mentioned; rather eager to s
Just a couple of thoughts from an old broadcaster's perspective, if I may. The use of radials with an MF or LF vertical antenna has, for several decades, been more for the purpose of enhancing an ear
<< First of all I would like to take my hat off to The Two Daves and a Graham ... >> Does this mean we will get to watch their series in a year or two on BBC America? Sounds like a good programme tit
All messages appearing recently regarding QRSS are stating the obvious as regards the technicalities. ie signal over noise in a very narrow bandwidth. No one mentioned the big disadvantage of the ti

Magne raises a good point. One needs to consult the regulations in one's home country. Over here, frequencies below 9 kHz are not regulated, but the ITU requirement is interpreted to mean harmonic en
<< Basicaly a 'top inductance' reduces the voltage on the vertical part of the antenna. Assuming that the losses induced in surrounding objects (ground, houses, trees, etc...) affect mainly the elect
Dave Brown writes: That said, the use of larger verticals will not necessarily give the best takeoff angle for the relatively poor skywave that they tend to produce. Bigger ain't necessarily better i
Thanks, Dave. I think we agree on all but a few points, which may have to do with perspective. After commenting on that, I have an announcement that may hearten those preparing to undertake this bold
Hello Geri, It would be most interesting to hear your .wav recording of the DCF39 signal. In fact, if you'd be willing to send both files, I'd be glad to post them on the LWCA Web site for everyone w
