I hope this relates, but we used to lay MF and HF antennas on the surface of the snow or even ice in the Canadian Arctic. When we started it was a big deal to use some poles about 5 or 6 ft long to

Hi Mike VE1ZZ was akso received in Finland by OH9UFO . You might want to include that also. I feel we also got a good lesson in 136 kHz propagation after solar flares. I sent copies of ARGO pictures
I have calculated the locator of Larry, VA3LK, as either FN14TQ or FN14UQ, which makes the distance between him and Ko, NL9222, 5731 or 5726km. This is the current world one-way record. Congratulatio

In the enthusiasm to make the first transatlantic 2-way QSO, it is easy to ignore other useful things that can happen this weekend. Firstly, AMRAD will be doing receive tests from the North Carolina

It would certainly help if Jack slowed down to 10s/dot - but that requires approx. 5dB higher patience level at the receiving end, hi.. Johan SM6LKM I think there is a case to run some 10s dot tests,

This really is a nice piece of software. It is easy to run, is very sensitive and continues to run when you are working on another program in a foreground window. I really like the easy switch from e
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. Well, normally the T, M or O is sent three times j
QRSS can be confusing for anyone new to it, and any errors can be very time-consuming. I have seen people send zero instead of O, wasting several minutes, as well as QTH, power level etc. The idea is
This weekend, there is the greatest opportunity yet to make the transatlantic two-way. I would like to suggest some procedures to maximise that opportunity and minimise mutual QRM. Please feel free t
