Hi Rik. I take your point, but I did say that it was "non-technical" The earth was the main station earth which is a short (1.5m) length of 22mm copper pipe to an earth mat and radials and was the sa
OK Mal, you win, I'll give up and sit on a repeater somewhere or better still use Echolink, then I could sell all my radios. Only trouble is, I can't do that as my amateur licence states that I can i
Hi Rick. Yes I think I can confirm that. I connected my signal generator to the earth antenna (300mV p-p at 150 KHz) and walked about with my long wave transistor radio and found maximum signal when
<<quote>> I have no idea what the electrical conductivity is but I imagine it's probably lower in the winter when my windows get a covering of salt during storms. Sorry that should have been HIGHER c
Hi Rik and Rik, Sorry, I too got confused by two Riks, should have looked at the callsigns. OK, my set up when I did the signal strength tests were, station earth (mat and radials) for both tests plu
Hi Stefan I tried the antennae this afternoon on 23 KHz and the E/W wire is 12dB up on the N/S wire. I have no idea what I was receiving as I was using a FRG-7700 which only displays to the nearest K
How odd. it doesn't work for me either, I get "Error 404 document couldn't be found" Not that I want a job, got too many things to do. Tony, I just checked the URL and it's working perfectly well her
Hello Hugh. I have a wind turbine and an inverter which is an ordinary computer UPS, and it does give blanket noise all across LF, MF & HF. It's only when you get to VHF that it can't be heard. I hav
So it's a case of managing to cross the pond .... and then give up ? Tony, EI8JK. On 09/09/2010 19:31, mal hamilton wrote: -- Original Message -- From: [email protected] mal hamilton To: rsgb_l
I'll switch my radio on and leave it on until about 11 BST. It would be interesting to see your signal over here. GL, Tony, EI8JK. On 30/09/2010 17:17, Roger Lapthorn wrote: Continuing to beacon on 1
Hi Stefan. Either day is fine for me, although Saturday is AC mains free for me ... and what a difference that made on Wednesday. I could see stations I had never seen before including the "staircase
Hi Stefan. I have a Vigilant Systems HF surveillance radio that is specced to 10 KHz, but seems OK(ish) to 6 KHz. Also I have just built Jim's (M0BMU) sound card pre-amp that I shall play with tomorr
Thanks Gary & Stefan I have them both loaded into Speclab now. I will play with them tomorrow on an AC mains free day Tony On 19/10/2010 20:10, Stefan Schäfer wrote: Hello Gary, Tony, VLF, Yes,
Thanks everyone, I have the screen saved now. It was a good thing that the AC power was switched off today as you can see from the attached screen shot. Well done Stefan, your sigs were 12 dB above t
Hi Clemens. Sorry yes, it is the RF Space SDR-IQ that I am going to order. It was Graham, G8FZK that was asking about the $200 one. 73, Tony, EI8JK. the most important difference between SDR-IQ/-IP(f
Hello group. Has anyone any experience with this SDR ? It looks interesting and I'm a bit tempted, especially as it works full spec down to 500 Hz and "usable" to 100 Hz. But as I have never used an
I will definitely be listening for you Stefan if you do. Tomorrow and Saturday they are working on the power lines here and there will no electricity within 10 miles of my shack. Should lower my nois
Thanks guys. You have just tipped the balance for me and I shall be placing an order for one on Monday morning. It's about time I joined the 21st century, but it will be interesting to compare it to
Thanks Lubos I have been thinking about getting an SDR for a while now and this one seems to be just right for all the things I want to do ... from LF RX to radio astronomy. I just wondered if it wa
Now that I have electricity again I can report I received a strong copy from Stefan in IO51dn. BUT PLEASE can somebody tell me how to save the screen on SpecLab as I have never done it before and don
