I am updating the Cave Radio & Electronics Group website at http://www.bcra.org.uk/creg/ and would like to include a link to a site which deals with conventional (!) LF amateur radio. May I have your
I was surprised that the QRN on 136kHz was very low this weekend, but the activity too. I spent a lot of hours on CW and QRSS, but no trace (except I5TGC on QRSS). That's all. The only interesting QS
I have put my Ropex review on the web now. http://www.wireless.org.uk/ropex.htm I didn't know they were still for sale! 73 Dave G3YXM. Whilst there are still appreciable stocks of The First, the desi

However, transmitting with a magnetic loop over ground will produce vertical skywave and groundwave radiation with equal efficiency. I remember hearing slow QSB on the transmissions of G2AJV (when I
My inverted-L has been faulty for several weeks now. It started with one of the top wires coming away from its perspex insulator. Because of the way the three wires are connected, this was not a disa
Dialogue between G4CNN and ZL2CA: up the vertical element or simply by raising it as high above the ground as possible must contribute to an improved signal. Presumably as usual this will appear as a
About antenna . I wonder if the increase in efficiancy is caused by the higher antenna capacity which permits smaller coil and therefore less loss due to coil resistance. This might also explain the
Could this path be enhanced by the Earth / Ionosphere waveguide propagation mode, prevalent at lower frequencies. I know it is rather too high frequency to be normally considered for this mode, but w
Yes I heard this station today, but thought at first, that I had mistaken the call. I heard him first, like you, working Christer, whom I could hear actually and later working F6CNI, first in easy to
I believe that a simple low power transmitter for 136 kHz would make an excellent club project, with the very real prospect of not just making LF QSOs across town - but with other countries too! Rega
Comments: Congratulations Steve on an excellent 5 watt QRP signal and your first LF/QRP QSO! Nice one, Steve. It is just this sort of initiative that will encourage a little more one-air activity. Mi
Not sure if Rugby is still off the air, but I will be transmitting QRSS on 71.610kHz between 0830 and 0930 on Saturday morning. As usual reports are welcome. Mike, G3XDV (IO91VT) http://www.lf.thersg
I am using NTL for my analogue cable TV, and have no trouble at all. The cables (one for radio and one for TV, are within three metres of my antenna. At least two of my neighbours use NTL's high spee
From a magazine received here at RSGB, it appears the South Africans are pressing for a 136kHz allocation. This would be a really difficult path to Europe (all land and across the equator), but could
No stations identified , only one heard calling cq around 0920utc approx 71.70Khz. Location here is North Lincs IO93QO. Who was it ? 73 John. I was on 71.610kHz at the time, but if Jim, M0BMU, was on
I called you several times. Let me know when (if) the local QRM goes off. I will keep the station optimised for 73kHz until Rugby comes back on. Did anyone copy my QRSS beacon Sat/Sun morning on 71.6
It was strangely quiet on 73kHz last night with the Rugby signal off the air. I could hear all sorts of carriers and SMPSU noises that I had not heard for years. To give an idea of how huge the Rugby
Which QRG and QTR ? 73 Alberto I2PHD 71.610kHz from 1800UTC to about 2100. Some of this will be beaconing. Mike, G3XDV (IO91VT) http://www.lf.thersgb.net
