Dear LF Group, Thanks to everyone who watched for the M0BMU beacon last night. It went QRT at about 0900utc. The signal was copied by G0NBD, GM4ISM, TF3HZ, PE0MGB, SM6BHZ, and also briefly by VE2DC.
Dear Jay, LF Group, Excellent! M0BMU's first 500kHz report from across the pond. Thanks for listening, will be interested to see what happens over the next few hours. The WSPRnet site is also receivi
Dear Pete, Gary, LF Group, "PAT" is strong here too - the loop says he is on a NW-SE bearing from Hertfordshire. I can also hear GW4HXO and GI4DPE. Best wishes to all for 2009, Cheers, Jim Moritz 73
Dear Vernon, LF Group, I closed the beacon down at 0108utc. Thanks for your interest - will try for a longer overnight session over the next few days - but I really do need to do something about the
Dear Graham, LF Group, I have just downloaded MultiPSK, and am quite impressed to be getting nearly 100% copy, in spite of your signal being only just audible, and having G3KEV's very strong CQ calls
Dear Andy, John, LF Group, Yes, Chas, G3DXZ suddenly appeared on the WSPR frequency in CW, so we QSYed a bit for a contact - I'll probably recover, given time! The WSPR beacon is back on again now. C
Dear Uwe, Am in the process of modifying my 136kHz TX to take drive from my transverter - should be ready in the next few days. BTW, have been getting one decode every 4 minutes consistently here. I
Dear Dave, LF Group That is DCF39, a utility in DL, with around 40kW ERP. It is quite a good indicator for trans-atlantic propagation. The breaks are short bursts of FSK data. The best QRG depends on
Dear Andy, LF Group, Some of the European beacons are also considerably higher than 1W ERP. Cheers, Jim Moritz 73 de M0BMU It was interesting, though, that for all that time the two Eu beacons around
Dear Mal, LF Group, The MBR6045 you have are Schottky types, which generally do have much higher reverse current than PN junction diodes, especially high current, large area ones. Diode matching is u
Dear Graham, LF Group, Remembering what I said jokingly to RA3AGC a few days ago about visually verifying a spectrogram trace of a WSPR signal, and the discussions of merits of WSPR vs QRSS, I though
Dear Klaus, Mal, LF Group, As far as being able to provide the information required in a beacon signal, I think WSPR and QRSS3 are roughly equivalent - they will function with similar signal and broa
Dear LF Group, I shut the beacon down on transmit at about 1150utc. The receiver will remain on - currently receiving DF6NM. Hope to be QRV again this evening - good luck to F5WK and friends! Cheers,
Dear Jay, LF Group, I currently have 2 receivers running/uploading on 502.4 and 507kHz "dial frequencies". I will probably go to transmit later tonight, but am going out for an hour or two now. Cheer
Dear Graham, LF Group, Monitored your beacon with 2 x Fldigi and 1 x Spectrum Lab. It is a bit hard to make a comparison, since the transmissions don't always overlap, and the signal level is constan
Dear Wolf, LF Group, I have not worked it out in detail yet, but I think ERP here is around 300mW with the lowered antenna, and 700mW with the antenna raised. Cheers, Jim Moritz 73 de M0BMU Hello Jim
Dear Mal, LF Group, I don't know... but it was probably the same as the reason for which the 73kHz band was withdrawn at about the same time that all the utilities which had been operating inside or
