Hi Ed, Nominally 138.9kHz with +/-170Hz FSK. It used to be bang on. I'll check to see if the upper frequency of the pair has moved correspondingly, too. http://www.qru.de/dcf39-beacon.html is DK8KW's
Hi Ed, That's about right; it's moved up in a number of small lurches from almost exactly 830 over the last six months or so. 73, Steve http://www.w3eee.com Ed Lesnichy wrote: Dear LF enthusiasts, ye
Hi Steve, On 275 today, there are two discernible signals: 'BBN' 160 miles east-ish on Long Island, which is some 6dB bigger than 'PS' 100m north-west-ish on the other side of State College. Nary a
Hi Steve, ING was within ground-wave range, and used to be easily audible here when it was on. Just had a listen (0130z-ish) and nada. Main significant carrier was from R1 (QC), no ING at 276. 274 wa
Hi Steve, ING 275 It is no more. I went physically looking for that one at one point. Hasn't been on for quite a few years. Cheers, Steve http://www.w3eee.com Steve McDonald wrote: I'm looking for an
Hi Nick, The R75 is pretty much the receiver of choice in the LF community in the US. Works well out of the box, and excellent value for money. Cheers, Steve http://www.w3eee.com Nick Mclean (SYD) wr
Hi John, Something like this has already been done, about 20 or so years ago. The creator's call escapes me for now, but he's a well-known West Coast contester: It was a Z-80 (I think) based micro wh
Hi Jay / David, I'm willing to entertain the idea of setting a 500kHz grab up here in W3, but I'll need clues as to where to park it, and at what rate to run it. Not sure if the application would be

Hi John, Just a thought here... Relying on 'official channels' will probably take forever with a decent chance of it getting tucked under a blotter somewhere along the way. A direct e-mail to the sta
Greetings all tree-loop doubters, Lawrence is being modest: His Oklahoma signal's nickname was "Radio America". 73 Steve W3EEE Laurence BY3A-KL1X China wrote: Sorry for the late reply - Im playing ca
Hi Scott, I did something like that for a while on the Grabulator, cheesing using a super-wide(?) filter to encompass all things of interest on 137. Didn't last long. There's a big disparity between
Those are serious amplifiers. A certain Big PA Company I used to work for used those on sublows (each one drove four cabinets of 4 * 18" drivers). There was a 10kW version, too. I have two of the 'sm
Hi Mal, Careful. I don't know this brand specifically (Maplin?) - wrong continent - but many prosumer amplifiers such as these are fairly liberal with what they call 'Watts', and don't exactly say fo
Hi Bob, Busted... if you're intent on mis-spending a youth - or a middle-age for that matter - it's definitely the way to go about it! Cheers, Steve Bob K3DJC
Hi Mal, Warren, You both have points, and misapprehensions, in about even measure. In still, homogeneous air, the results are as Warren states. They did after all measure all this stuff once upon a t
Hi Dave, Jim, It's the spongey rubber-VCXO used in the IF shift/ passband tuning that's by far and away the worst drifty thing in the '735. More trouble than it's worth to try and fix, and which then
