Hello LFers, OK, if we're all going to confess, I'll throw in my bit as well. As a kid I had (and still have!) a "Ford Coil" and I made a transmitter. I successfully spanned the 18 miles between our
Hi John, Your soggy Wolf is making it to the east shore of Lake Huron. Maybe the winds that have been howling here all day will blow your dampness out to sea. Here's the copy as seen at Saltford, Ont
Hi LFers, I have a small program that I downloaded several years ago that will do the calculations for finding the mutual inductance and coupling of two coils. The program is called MandK and I have

Hello Dave, Would you like a pix of my new combination loading coil/variometer? If so, what resolution would you like? Give me your e-mail address so I can send the pix directly to you rather than vi
LFers, I'm using QRSS version 3.17 on a 486 laptop running Windows for Workgroups 3.11 and it's working just fine. I've also tried it on my older desktop running Win 98 with good results as well. 73,

Hello LFers, A nice late afternoon copy of XGJ's signal here in Saltford, Ontario. This is the earliest I've seen of any of the "X" stations, as usually it's well into the evening before they start t
Hello John, LFers, I'm unable to get Jason to run in my computer, so unfortunately I can't give you a proper Jason screenshot. However, to prove that I did indeed at least see your Jason, attached is
Hello Jay, LFers, I'll try my Argo capture in this posting to see if the RSGB reflector will accept my attachments. Funny with the Lowfer List, as I was able to post using Webmail up until recently,
Hello LFers, At 23:50 UTC I took this capture of XGJ's signal, the best that I have seen it, this early in the evening. 73, J.B., VE3EAR - VE3WZL Solar and wind powered Lowfer " EAR" 188.825 EN93dr A
Hello J, LFers, For the last two mornings I've seen traces of a signal on my Argo screen where your's should be. Not enough to make out a specific character, but there's definately something there. I
