At last, I have managed to receive VE1ZZ who was visible but unreadable at 2300 and 2330 but 'M' at 0000 and 0030. I will post a picture on my web site tonight. I confirm that there is a noise line a
I make it 135.673 and 135.773kHz with a lot of noise in between. Using frequencies in the 135.7 region (ie the middle of the RTTY) is a bit like Canadian stations transmitting on 137.000. Is this rea

As the 'inventor' of this term, I feel some explanation is called for. 'Slow CW' has tended to mean a few words per minute as used for Morse practice. We used to say 'extremely slow CW' which was rat

I have been sending my call overnight on 135.923kHz for the last week, and I know that IK5ZPV has also been on. But is there anyone watching now? The reports have stopped - does that mean that we hav
1) Worked CT1DRP using QRSS (see my web site for pics). 2) Three months after I was forced to apply, I received the planning permission for my antenna. A big smile here :-) Mike, G3XDV (IO91VT) http:

A decrease in current from 2.7 to 2.2A would result in FS decreasing by 1.8dB if the antenna remained the same. So overall, there was an improvement of 2.7dB from the radiating point of view, althoug
OK on the elevated loading coil. I'm not convinced that hard results support your claims: Bob, I was confused by your reaction to my assertion that not only had my increased elevated inductance impr

I think I got some signals when monitoring 135.920. I set up Argo to watch from 800Hz (135920) to 806Hz (135926), 60 second dot, slow. Marcus PY3CRX/PY2PLL Do you see DBF39 on 138.830kHz. This is a c

Yesterday, I reported that I had increased my mast-head inductance so that the antennna was almost self-resonant. The new coil introduced resistive losses and the current reduced, but reports were be
