Hello LFers, Brian's DFCW signal is coming thru pretty well this evening, with the last 30 minutes or so prior to 03:00 UTC being the most consistant. 73, J.B., VE3EAR - VE3WZL Solar and wind powered
Hello LFers, In my Tesla coiling over the years I've found that the clear tubing used with oxygen masks in hospitals makes a good insulator when pulled over an already clad wire. I use #18 teflon ins
Hello Dex, Many thanks for the QSL card which arrived today via snail mail. Thanks go out to all who have sent me QSLs, which I try to respond personally to, but sometimes forget. They are all very m
Hi John, LFers, No first-line lockup this evening, but solid after the fifth line. I'm QSYing to the watering hole now at 03:00 UTC. 73, J.B., VE3EAR - VE3WZL Solar and wind powered EN93dr
Hi Mike, I'm not sure what it is, but poly would seem a logical likely material. I like the idea of vaseline that someone suggested, and I'll have to give that a try with the teflon insulated wire in
WD2XES will run WOLF (10) again tonight on 137.577 kHz. Start time should be before 2300 UTC. John Andrews, W1TAG/WD2XES Hi John, LFers, Nice signals tonight and as you can see, a first line lock-up
Hi Warren, an excursion to high temperature should not affect the ferrite as this is sintered at quite high temperatures to make the ring. What might suffer is the epoxy (usually) coating which may
Hello LFers, Here's a cropped pix of the capture last night of the un-identified signal: 73, J.B., VE3EAR - VE3WZL Solar and wind powered EN93dr Attachment: Whatisit.jpg Description: Binary data
Hi Jim, LFers, Each tick is a tenth of a Hertz. 73, J.B., VE3EAR - VE3WZL Solar and wind powered EN93dr -- Original Message -- From: [email protected] james moritz To: [email protected]
Hello LFers, Seeing Brian here as well at 02:30 UTC. Not as strong as you on the coast are, but there none the less. Maybe as the night rolls on it will pick up in strength. 73, J.B., VE3EAR - VE3WZL
Hello LFers, When mentioning that a loop is oriented E-W, does that refer to the plane of the actual loop or to its resulting pattern? 73, J.B., VE3EAR - VE3WZL Solar and wind powered EN93dr
Hi Jim, LFers, Thanks for the reply. Why I asked was due to what I read on page 31 of the book LF Today, where it states that the transmitting loop has "nulls of some 20 db in the plane of the loop".
WD2XGJ is running QRSS 3 on 137.696. Thanks to Hartmut and Markus for their suggestions. Reports Welcome! 73 Warren K2ORS/WD2XGJ FN42hi http://www.w4dex.com/wd2xgj.htm Hello Dex, Warren, LFers, Here
Hello Lowfers & LFers, My greatest enjoyment of ham radio is building and tinkering with antennas, and in keeping with that I'm planning on erecting a "T" or Marconi antenna which I can use on both t
Hello Alan, Jay, Warren, et all, Thanks for your replies to my question concerning a "T" antenna. As you had suggested, I plan to use Dacron rope between the end insulators and the towers. The insula
Hi Joe, Lowfers, At around 03:30 UTC I spotted you again, this time using SpecLab with a QRSS30 setting. It's likely I would see your signals regularly if Mitch wasn't so close in frequency to you, a
Hi Laurence, I had the same issue too...no local availability. Solution? Home brew by winding a trifilar transformer on a large toroid removed from a computer power supply. Bench tests indicate that
Hi John, LFers, Sorry I can't do the simultaneous thing for you, but what I did manage was to do a fast QSY/Mode switch as soon as I had 2 valid lines of WOLF10, and as you can see, they both came in
Hi John, As you can see, it was second line lockup of your WOLF 5 signals: 2006-03-21 23:14:13 >WOLF5 -r 8000 -f 577 -t 1.0 -w 0.0000 t: 48 f: 0.464 a:-1.0 dp:113.2 ci: 0 cj: 0 J61UVPL*1FBQ0B* ? t: 9
<SNIP> Hi Warren, Since all I can do so far is receive, I thought I'd throw my 2 cents worth in on this. I use both Argo and Spectrum Lab for my QRSS listening, and I like both of them. Argo shines i
