Seen some response to the asymmetrical ear syndrom but got a lot of private mail indicating that it was more common than one would imagine. Since I mentioned it lots of operators have been testing th
CQ's galore. OG5UFO, OH7OL. DL3FDO, IK5ZPV and HB2ASB and no one replying to them. Gave IK5ZPV a call and gave him 569 got 559, then HB2ASB, got 589 gave him 559. Did not reply to the others at this
Years ago I was doing some R and D at Canedon near Southend on Sea. We were using some wooden masts each 300 ft high ex radar experimental masts. I had a KW2000A rig in my car working/M. I met a loca
OK. I accept that the real antenna might differ from the model. This is because I do not know the detailed structure of the antenna or your ground characteristics and had to make some assumptions. I

Most receivers around are adequate for 136 khz reception of radio amateur signals. Basically all that is required is a narrow IF filter especially at the the last IF normally 455 khz to avoid adjacen
Until we get some of the big antenna 160 metres operators in the USA/CANADA and the UK plus the rest of EU interested in 136 khz the chances of a qso are NIL across the ocean. These operators have th
Dear G3KEV, Have you made a specialty of positive comments Sincerely Andre' N4ICK I try to be realistic. Most are struggling to work each other a few hundred miles around Europe on LF. I hear them e
Hello LF-Friends, the negative result of the recent transatlantic experiment only says that the usual ham methods for LF contacts are not adequate for a transatlantic distance. A weak signal never e
OE5ODL has his antennas up again after all the storms damage. I worked him a few minutes ago at 559 each way. He is putting out a nice signal into the UK. Did not hear anyone else calling him althoug
Lots of acty today Sunday. Worked IK5ZPV 579 each way. OE5ODL 559 each way, OG5UFO 529/559. Heard DL/G/GM but did not call except to work G3DQC to give him a report. Seen some acty also on LMCW. Swit
Hello (V)LF experimenters, I have an idea of resonating my existing vertical on 8 kHz. Is there a practical way to construct a 600 mH loading coil, withstanding 3-4 A and high voltage? Any *large* t
Hi all... I'll be QRV on 136 again this weekend 5/6.2.2000. I'll use about 150W and 170m long antenna starting saturday 1500Z until sunday 1000Z. QRSS also possible, normaly around 136.7 and 136.9kH
The strongest signal that I have ever heard on 136 khz. 7S6SAJ was S9 plus plus with his 210 metre high antenna. The only other signal on the band nearly as strong is MM0ALM. Who says large antennas
Geeees what a signal!!!! go for it state side!!! Congratulations! 73 de Ivan HA5TS Hi Ivan. You do not mention any other stations that you heard. Did you hear only 7S6SAJ. The 7S6SAJ stands the best
Hi Christer, hi all, beautiful kilowatt signal here in Bavaria (JN59NK) today at 1410: 7S6SAJ 33 dBuV/m, G3KEV and G3YXM both about 4 dBuV/m. Just goes to show the difference in RECEIVING capabiliti
Hi All. A lot of activity today Saturday. 7S6SAT vy big signal all day. Morning vy busy with acty from every corner SM4DHN, IK5ZPV, OG5UFO, ON, OZ, DL/DJ, and lots of G acty. Worked DF3OE, his first
OM2TW was very active yesterday( Saturday) with a S5 signal all day at my qth, and besides my qso with him he worked a number of other EU stations. OE5ODL was also a good signal consistant S5.and I h
Great! Where are they all? Tired of waiting. Maybe they dont know about it yet, everybody else does !!!!! There was more xband acty from France before the licence authorization. I have worked severa
According to G3YXM web page the qso OM2TW and G3KEV was a first between these two countries. To get things into perspective, its a question of being in the right place at the right time. Most station
