Hi Mike - that is likely the Loran Line on 137777.778 in the North Pacific. Pretty nice catch in itself! Maybe I should be hollering at you these nights too! Steve / VE7SL
How is the latest model on LF ? I understand the earlier 706's where pretty deaf on LF. Have they made appropriate changes with the later productions? Steve / VE7SL Web: "THE VE7SL RADIO NOTEBOOK" at
J had a great signal down here last night fairly early, starting around 2300 local time, over the 1000 mile path. This capture shows him on a QRSS3 screen as well as a QRSS60 screen. Looks like thing
at the moment freq wise? VY1JA has been at 137.7784 if memory serves correct. He is only at 100W but has a huge antenna which seems to be working very well. I can hear him on CW here at over 1000 mi
Laurence - I may be able to spark up in the predawn hours (1000- 1300 Z) if Scott is not running schedules with VY1JA and I don't have any 2m meteor scatter schedules in the morning. It is so darn dr

I'm pleased to report the first long-distance CW-CW contact between two Canadian amateurs on 2200m. The QSO was between Jay, VY1JA in Whitehorse, Yukon Territory and myself, VE7SL, on Mayne Island, B
VY1JA has been using ~ that frequency for some time and may have re-activated his beacon last night for Laurence...which would explain the warm-up drift. He has a huge, huge signal. I will e-mail and
Hi Alan - it sounds similar to what I have noticed on 160m here. Usually when I hear EU on 160 here on the west coast, there is no sign of the usual east coasters and they don't hear the EU's either.
Chris - I have used something similar to Alan but with clear labels. Although not a close-up, you can see the results on my 2200m TX and Wattmeter in the first picture here: http://www.imagenisp.ca/j
Dave - regarding the 2200m experimental licences...we were informed at the last renewal time that all of the experiments would end on June 30th 2007 as a wrap-up to the next WRC 2007 meetings in late
