I have been watching since 20:00 nothing seen except static. Sorry but this is the worst night for several weeks.Have usually had good copy of VE1ZZ by 23:00. But not tonight guess some CME is the pr
In the old days! we used to boil wooden dowels in melted down wax candles to make spacers for open wire feeders.Seemed to work pretty well,presumably white wax candles are made of parafin wax. I am l
Hi Doc. For reasons of excessive enthusiasm or something, I have two copies of the LF Experimenters Source Book 2nd Edition, published 1998. You are very welcome to one of these if this is what you a
Hi Mike, Thanks for the Qrss explanation,but why repeat T M or O ? Is this just to ensure that it gets through or is O O O more readable than O ? 73s Laurie.
Hi Dave, Sorry to hear about the fire,hope you get going again soon. What about lining the shelter with aluminium foil. This would need gaps to prevent shorted turns and would be grounded.But it woul
Hi Rik and all, Many thanks for the explanation, of how to determine the correct direction with a loop ,I remember doing this years ago at sea in my boat where it was important to know which way to p
Good morning Alberto, I have another small problem with build 113 recently downloaded.A signal which produces a good display on build 110 seems to be far too strong for 113.So I have to reduce the s

Hi all, Jack has declared a starting time of 2130 for his first transmission tonight. Then as usual at the hour and the half hour for ten minutes. I have far too much local noise to start listening
Hi Andy, I wonder wether you mean 137.744 ? I have had a carrier on this frequency ever since I began on LF, I discussed it with Alan over a year ago and we decided that it was local to me. It is ver
John does not think that he sees SXV,but the SXV data stream looks like noise here rather than discrete spectral lines! Can I suggest that the VE stations check the frequencies to see wether 135.670-
Hi Larry, I have transmitted on several occasions,but my frequency has been 135.722Khz occasionally 135.922.Time between 2130 and 2330 UTC except for 01/01/2001 when I stayed on until 0300.The mode Q
Hi John, Glad its not just me , I have already replied to Alberto. Yes last night very noisy here, saw nothing of VE1ZZ so stopped transmitting at 23:30. Will try again tonight if condx ok.
Hello again Alberto, Many thanks for your reply to my mail. The problem is that if I move the slider away from the start position either way left or right the contrast changes as expected BUT when I
Hi Alberto, I have a small problem with Argo, if I change the contrast setting while running the program, cannot return to the initial (default) setting without exit from the program and restart. I w
I agree with Mike, we have an agreed sub-band for EU-VE 135.900- 136.000, these frequencies keep us clear of SVX and the Canadian LORAN so why change? I hope we can agree before the Jan 12/13 tests.7
Many thanks to Alan and Nick Read G7DND who reported problems with my transmission last night,all dits and no dahs Hi. I checked it out this morning and its true I was set up for DFCW, a mode I use q
