I would go along with Rik in principle, but beware of high static levels giving a misleading high figure of "antenna noise". This test only works on low static days. I would, in any case, suggest a "
Part of the reason for lower activity on 136 over the past few days has been my regular Op32 transmissions stopping because of the snow combined with high winds, then some resultant damage to my ante
Very good signal here Alex. See attached capture. Mike, G3XDV == The following section of this message contains a file attachment prepared for transmission using the Internet MIME message format. If
I will be transmitting QRSS60 on 136.1721kHz overnight tonight and for the next two nights. Transmissions will comprise my callsign, and will start exactly on the odd-numbered (UTC) hour from 1900 to
Thanks to all who reported my 136kHz QRSS60 signals over the last weekend, especially for the excellent screenshots from N1BUG and WA3TTS. I am returning to my evening Op32 transmissions for a few da
Joe, I have received your Op32 for the last several nights as follows: 22/23 June: 0259 and 0352 UTC at -30dB S/N 23/24 June: 0141 -38; 0319 -35 24/25 June: 0059 -40; 0132 -39 25/26 June: 0231 -40 26
Yes of course, given the right conditions and enough ERP. European stations have been received in all of those countries. Mode was QRSS. Mike, G3XDV ==
Proving that the shortest night of the year and some static is no barrier to LF DX, VO1NA had a good night using Opera32 on 136kHz. He was received by G4WGT, G3XDV, GW0EZY, PA0OCD, W1TAG, DF6NM and D
Joe, beware of comparitive figures. They can be very useful, but are signal/noise ratios, not "signal strengths", so are dependent on static levels this time of year. Thanks for the tests. Mike, G3X
Last night my beacon lasted less than one callsign when one of my cild flashed over. This is exactly why I did a brief evening test before leaving it on overnight. I will try again this evening (13th
I have at last got my station fully running again. Having been off the air for a few months I notice much less Loran QRM which will make CW contacts possible again. But more QRM from DCF39 data burst
About 10 days ago I announced some DX beacon tests following the rebuild of my station. Since then, I have suffered from a burnt out loading coil, a dead transmitter pa module, intermittent receiver
