From Dave G3YMC G3KEV reports hearing RTTY signals on 137.0kHz. Last winter and the year before I consistently heard CFH around the dawn period at s9++. I have heard nothing now for many months, and

From Dave G3YMC I am using a Farnell G24-15A, 24V 15A switcher, which is quite quiet after the addition of a couple of decoupling caps between the outputs and case. Another supply I was thinking of u
From Dave G3YMC I heard Ron G6RO calling CQ several times last week identifying as using qrp - he was 549, perfect copy, against the 579 I normally copy him. Fortunately my local qrm was off at the t

A new virus W95/Badtrans.B@mm (see http://www.f-prot.com/f-prot/virusinfo/badtrb.html), appears to be spreading fast. I have just received a copy from I believe a reflector subscriber. Point to note
From Dave G3YMC May I also add my congratulations to Laurie and the rest - the screenshots this time leave little doubt to the fact it happened! As Mal says, they show that under the right conditions

Bob's local QRM is obviously one of the reasons in his decision, but those of you who have worked him over the past few weeks will know that he had largely solved that with the help of a noise cancel
Just to say that I have heard from Steve GW4ALG that Bob G8RW has now given up operation on 136 following the appearance of the MB7LF 'repeater' and associated events. This is yet one more loss to th
