G3KEV..... ................................ no commercial DECCA JEEPS needed to cross the POND. When I was with Decca I had a Decca car, and we certainly had Decca trucks, but we never had Jeeps, so
Mal G3KEV has a competitor for the biggest 136 sig in the UK. I heard MM0ALM wkg DJ9IE yesterday and he was 8 dB stronger than 'KEV here although almost twice as far away. Said he'd just had a steepl
Excellent Jason copy tonight, Dave and Alberto, on my 233 machine in normal mode. Also had a 100 set up using Spectran in 0.042 Hz mode running on same audio. Sigs looked much the same. Rx antenna wa

Thanks, Jim and Geri. After sending previous email DF'd on DCF49 (128.93 carrier) and got 092 deg so solved mystery. Also DF'd on the multiple weak carriers around 136000 and found some were on the s
Apparent direction of sig on 136647 from here is 352/172 deg True. If Jim's 235 degs from Hertford is correct then it's located in Watford! But I don't trust it too much. I get a bearing of 079 True
For Heaven's sake there's enough regulation and self-appointed policemen in this world without burdening ourselves with even more! By all means let's have a RECOMMENDED bandplan but to start moaning
Re Marco's comments: MSF is a simple absolute frequency standard accurate to 2 in 10-12. Add about 20 dB amplification to a 60 kHz ferrite rod antenna and there'll be plenty of carrier to see on a sc
Dear LF Group, A while ago, I got a 10MHz OCXO reference - one of CARC's surplus goodies. It is a Piezo Systems model 2810007-1, and appears to be a clone of the HP10811 references. I have the pin-o
At the Crawley LF roundtable a few weeks ago somebody asked me if I'd measured the stability of an FT-817, but I hadn't. Now I have. After running it for 24 hrs I set it to track a harmonic of my 5 M
Johan, Sent you a second reception report with attached Jason pic but didn't get through the reflector. Forgot it won't allow anything except small attachments! Received four or five perfect messages
Johan, Got about 30% copy on your beacon this morning at 0545-0615 GMT. Message "WX is sunny". Now (0630) faded. I'll keep trying. Think you were OK late last night but I was looking at wrong frequen
Andy, Test recvd 100% error-free here over 1 hour. No difference noted between "native" and "KK7A" decoders. Nothing audible by ear. QRN fairly bad. Antenna 1 metre whip. Walter G3JKV. -- Outgoing ma

I use my IC706 as signal source for the 180 KHz transmitter, dividing by 100 from the 18 Mhz band - and it works like a charm {our ZL band is 165-190 kHz}. At some stage I believe that our allocatio
Further to Andy, G4JNT's talk at the LF Forum (RSGB HF COnvention) last weekend, and his article in RadCom, Frank, K0BRA, mentioned a cheap source of surplus Motorola ACS1397 8 Channel GPS modules f
