I briefly listened on the band around 2115z before turning in. I heard one of your CQ calls down here in Bracknell, 549 solid copy. Didn't have time to get the rig turned on to call you (and no doubt
Quite some signal down here in Bracknell IO91PJ tonight 2000z John, good solid 579 with no QSB and now copying GM4ISM at 419! I have made an mp3 recording which you will find among my other recording
Just trying to get myself sorted out for this crossband stuff. Using my K2 on both 80m and 500kHz (via the Datong UC1) and relying on the 500kHz for my sidetone means I have to click the band up/down
Maybe Alan can explain why we get these auroras and high K indexes at the sunspot minimum when the sun spot count and solar flux have been at rock bottom for weeks on end? Just checked, sunspot numbe
The new edition of the Radio Communications Handbook (as advertised in RadCom) has a few designs for 500kHz gear, including my own transmitter. This shows that the interest in promoting it is there,
Then I guess we need to blame somebody else.... It appeared right on top of John GM4SLV last night when I got the rig tuned up to answer his CQ call. Guess the culprit didn't check the frequency firs
I thought your figures looked a bit odd, and intuitively Tom should be further. I put the figures into G0GJV's Minos VHF logger: GM4SLV IP90GG to: G3OLB IO80IU 1054km 187deg G3LDO IO90ST 1054km 176de

I was up at the HF Convention at Wyboston yesterday. Very enjoyable day and the new venue is fine, the only criticism was that the lecture rooms were too small (which I gather they are going to remed
It is out Mal, others have reported receiving it earlier this week. I received the extracts they send to clubs via email at the beginning of the week, but not received my paper copy yet. Remember the
Yes, very strong here in Bracknell. Looks like some sort of commercial transmission which of course you will find on 80m. I have now taken down my 500kHz antenna and reverted it back to a Top Band ve
The following has just appeared in today's ARRL Letter: * 500 kHz Experiment Charting New Territory: The evening of November 13 saw the first transatlantic contact on 500 kHz between amateur experime
Not sure if you were using the new arrangement last night Gary, but you were a good signal, 579ish, down here in Bracknell. Not that much weaker than the G0MRF beacon which you were somewhat undernea
If you have a decent email program it can also sort them nicely into threads, and will also have an excellent search funcion. Pegasus Mail does the job very nicely for me. Forums suit some people, em
I run around 6W output. My original calculations which was what the wording on my NOV application were based, was that the maximum power I would use would be 10W and that my proposed vertical would p
