Gerald, .............. TX for LF. Got 100 Pcs of IRF830 (500V/4,5A) and want to build a TX with it. Are there any Web-Pages or Pictures with circuit-diagrams for some ideas ??? Try http://www.wireles
Alan, Very useful. I don't have packet and, although a lot of the spots are the same as the internet site, there are some new ones. Please carry on. Dave G3YXM
Andre' Spectrogram has worked OK with every sound card I have tried, even old 8-bit ones although of course you are limited to the 8 bit setting. I use it every day with an El-Cheapo card and a 486 m
Dear all. My local noise was off on Saturday and Sunday mornings so I was listening quite a lot on 136 and it seemed that conditions were bad. DF2PY was way down on his normal signal... were you runn
Marco, I thought I could see something but no copy, very strange... If you could see me why could I not see you? Is North to South propagation better than South to North at the moment? Less static he
Alan, I don't think it's the fault of transmitters failing to send proper dots, looking at mine on a scope the envelope is just the same as it would be on HF. I do agree that it's the dots that get l
Nick / John, I can rule out BT's "DAX" box which uses analogue carrier multiplex as I had one here for a while with no RF problems on any band. It was USELESS for use with a modem though so it's gone
Steve et al... I normally try to leave a 200Hz gap between my transmission and other strongish ones but it is sometimes difficult to find a spot on a Saturday or Sunday morning... It is certainly som
Dear all, I put a request on the news page for suggestions on operating times and the response seems to agree with what has been suggested on this reflector. That is: Saturday and Sunday mornings, fr
Dear all. I heartily agree with Petr's suggestion of calling "on the hour" to minimise fruitless listening. I have used this technique when trying DX daylight tests on 160 and it certainly saves time
A very sad development... Please pass on my best wishes to Harry, I shall miss our regular QSOs. There really is no way to argue intelligently with people when they have convinced themselves that som
Dick's article is on the www at: http://www.picks.f9.co.uk/pa0se.htm Or at http://www.wireless.org.uk/pa0se.htm Please let me know of any problems Dick. I just imported the document straight into my
John, Geri et al I agree with most of the ideas expressed about a band plan for 136 with the following comments on Geri's bandplan. I like the 135.7 - 136 for beacons and tests, it is under used any
Excellent 569 signal here this morning from Wolf. Called by myself and G3XTZ with no response. Is the loop receiving from our direction Wolf? I find that I must throw the main antenna off-resonance w
Finbar said.... A very pleasant chap from the International Copper Federation, called the other day and presented me with beautiful engraved smoking pipe.... But what has he been smoking in it?? 73,
Dear all, At last a good weekend on LF ! I worked DJ5BV for the first time on normal CW, rather tricky but reports exchanged OK, on Saturday. He was a better signal on Sunday when working G4GVC, 449
Dear all, The important thing about any LF antenna is to ensure that the wire is supported by good insulators, nothing kills the Q of a system like a wire touching a damp tree or similar lossy struct
Dear all. Heinz, OE5EEP informs me that he and some others will put on a station on the 136 band on Saturday 31st July from 1100 hrs. No more info yet. 73, Dave G3YXM.
Dear all. In my experience, as in all amateur installations, you have to experiment to get the best result! At home in the city, on good clay soil, earth stakes didn't seem to help much but radials d
