High QRN levels here last night ... Stefan was barely above the noise at times. Jay W1VD WD2XNS WE2XGR/2 Thanks, Jay. Nice to see a faint "3X" on the screen, and a trace of Markus, especially as Stef
Congrats Stefan & Dave. Best equipment ... debatable. Best location ... absolutely. He's right on the ocean! Jay W1VD WD2XNS WE2XGR/2 MF, At least that one was a real decode last night, see attachmen
Stefan Finally got around to looking east for EU WSPR last night. Condx apparently not as good as the previous night but managed two spots for DK7FC a bit further inland. Jay W1VD WD2XNS WE2XGR/2
Ditto ... no joy here either on WSPR-15. Jay W1VD WD2XNS WE2XGR/2 ...there have been a few MF TA tests in WSPR-15 in the early 630m days, showing that this mode is to slow for the path on that band.
Maybe rectify some rf to keep the batteries topped off? Jay W1VD WD2XNS WE2XGR/2 -- Original Message -- From: [email protected] Mal Hamilton To: [email protected] rsgb_lf_group@blacksh
Stefan Any idea what started the meltdown? Heard someone say once: There are two types of LF ops ... those that have experienced fires ... and those that will ;~) . Jay W1VD WD2XNS WE2XGR/2 Hi LF, Un
Alan Note that reception here is never better than at Dave's with his ocean front location. During optimum conditions (for me) I can get close to his displayed s/n receptions. Many times I just have
Andy This feature is built into Spectrum Lab ... I run 1 kHz (divided down GPS) into the sound card's right channel. Works as expected. Jay W1VD WD2XNS WE2XGR/2 -- Original Message -- From: andy.g4jn
Weak reception this morning - likely due to high QRN levels. A short .mp3 from the 'tune up' and beginning of the message at: http://www.w1vd.com/SAQ102415A.mp3 . Equipment lineup as usual: Modified
Laurence Thought you only ran unattended transmissions from rental properties? Or is that just at the kW level? ;~) Have a safe trip ... will be keeping an eye out for your transmissions. Jay W1VD WD
Nice reception of SAQ Christmas Message this morning. Despite moderate QRN this was a better than average December reception. Oddly enough, the best all time SAQ receptions have occured during the su
Stefan I've found that limiting the size of the ALL_WSPR.TXT file results in more reliable uploads. I move all spots more than a week old to a separate 'archive' folder. Jay W1VD WD2XNS WE2XGR/2 Hi a
Received both SAQ 17.2 kHz transmissions here this morning ... the second session won out due to lower static levels. I'd rate readability as normal to slightly above normal compared to numerous prev
For anyone considering building the W1VD transmitters, I would recommend using the driver circuit from the kW unit even if building a 500 watt unit. Jay W1VD WD2XNS WE2XGR/2 -- Original Message -- Fr
Mike Same here ... no joy. Jay W1VD Mike, There were two periods of visible activity on your frequency last night, but no ID was possible. I might be able to convince myself of a "G" at 0300, but the
SAQ enthusiasts This morning's reception of SAQ on 17.2 kHz produced the best signal-to-noise in >15 years of listening to their summer and winter broadcasts. An .mp3 of the transmission as received

Chris Your original post describes the core as "warmish" after a WSPR session ... maybe some clarification of what temperature "warmish" is would be helpful. A core that runs 'warm' should not be cau
The problem can also be on the receive station end ... i.e. not using an isolation transformer between receiver and sound card input if ground loops are present. Jay W1VD WD2XNS WE2XGR/2 Hello Hugh,
Paul 61 material has the best Q of any of the ferrite materials (that I'm aware of) at LF/MF. Can't say whether or not the change to a different coil would be appropriate in that circuit. Jay W1VD WD
